If it didn’t apply then you could buy Monopoly money from a third party called let’s say Mether, mix it in a jar, and sell Monopoly money back to Mether.

If a law is defeated by something as simple as that, what’s the point of having the law? It’s like saying if you commit crimes wearing gloves you get to walk because there are no fingerprints.

Wrong. Mixing money can be done for non-criminal reasons. In your gloved example, you're doing it to commit crime.

It's not illegal to wear gloves to prevent leaving fingerprints, if you are smart enough not to leave other clues you might get away with it. Please use this information only for good.
