Although I must note that I was unable to find any example of a US Postal Service Monopoly, perhaps you should suggest it to Hasbro.
If you however meant to inquire as to the existence of monopolies other than the US Postal Services I must first point out that they aren't necessarily a monopoly. In fact given the existence of UPS, FexEx, DHL, and many other carriers, the postal service is certainly not a monopoly. In fact defining something as a monopoly can be tricky. Unless you restrict the term solely to businesses who the government has given exclusive privelege to conduct a business, than only very specific fields are monopolized. Certianly the production and sale of Viagra is monopolized by Viagra, but thanks to about 30 thousand other companies, there is no monopoly in the treatment of E.D.
If however you want to know about some government granted monopolies than their are many. Most notable there is Halliburton which has received over $21 billion dollars in exclusive no-bid contracts. In fact any time the Government hands out a no-bid contract they have created a monopoly.
Perhaps Hasbro should make a Halliburton Monopoly Edition. Instead of a top hat and car you could have Dick Cheney and George Bush. Instead of Board Walk and Park Place you could have The White House and The Naval Observatory.
