Refers to currencies that have suffered or continue to suffer from hyperinflation. Because currency denominations rapidly lose value, printed bills will become worth very little after a short time. They eventually become almost worthless, not even worth the paper they are printed on, like monopoly money.
Countries that use/have used monopoly money:
Argentina
Brazil
Turkey
Zimbabwe
Iran
Israel
Chile
(Also any country where simple items currently cost 1000's of their currency unit, as this is an indication of past hyperinflation)
