  1. "Craig should have stopped after 50 Dollars" is somewhat wise if you set the threshold a bit higher. as soon the bars etc. are running there is no need to sell drugs anymore IMHO. cash in the new legal income and walk away smiling.

  2. for forging coins: on 1 pound sterling coins you may find on the rim a posh latin phrase Decus Et Tutamen which means "for decor and security" in today's time nobody will likley reduce the rim to get metal for new coins, but in older times coins were made of more precious metals :)

  3. the topic is ofc often a plot in crime novels and in one i know i stumbled upon a silly fact: ALL us-dollar bills share the same measurements and ink for reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Note#Security "Counterfeiters can simply bleach the ink off a low-denomination note, such as a $1 or $5 bill, and reprint it as a higher-value note, such as a $100 bill" that takes the correct paper off the list and for real the ink used for higher denominations is the same as for a simple 1$ greenback, there is no color change like those in other currencies.
