Some time ago a movie was made about an old gentleman who ; made counterfeit dollar bills. He only made about forty a month and never passed more than one at a time, so he considered it no harm. The story told of the numbers of years it took to catch him, and then what punishment was deemed suitable.
Now, in real life and not in the movies, they have found a man out in California who has “coined” $11,500 in $ 5-bills. He stated that he made the counterfeit bills because he doesn’t ‘‘approve of the Federal Reserve System.” International bankers and the Federal Reserve System, he complains, are - the root of all mankind’s troubles.
