"I initially found this entry in the series confusing because I kept reading the word "counterfeit" as "Confederate," and I couldn't understand why merchants and shopkeepers in Bayport were having such trouble differentiating between US greenbacks and C.S.A. funny money from the 1860s. Eventually, however, I figured out what counterfeiting actually entailed, which greatly increased my enjoyment of this book. (Not to mention making me obsessed with counterfeiting.)"
