description: In November of 1924 a Portuguese businessman on the verge of bankruptcy came up with a plan for counterfeiting unequaled in history in its audacity. With no resources except boldness he set about acquiring the power to print his country's currency. Amazingly he succeeded and except for a fluke of fortune he would have gotten away with it.
