Not related to the monopoly stuff but I like HP calculators best! For college I used an HP 35S—it’s a programmable scientific calculator and fun to program because it uses RPN stacks for calculations and storing results.

I had to hunt online for a used HP when I took a college class in 2003(ish) because the final exam needed a calculator and I honestly had no idea how to use non-RPN (I'm sure I could have figured it out, but been much slower).

I'd been using RPN since high school.
