Toys with Counterfeiting
The novelist John Steinbeck writes Franklin Roosevelt about counterfeiting
Hitler's reichsmarks, the President bucks it to his secretary of the Treasury,
who only too happy to discover that the British have already thought about
the idea and rejected it. Nevertheless, ordinary Americans have the same brainstorm,
and it's still in the CIA's playbook years later.
