Moneymakers I - 3 How Signor Giori was able to carve out a worldwide monopoly with his printing presses: The meeting in Alexandria. The “Italian connection”. Developer, supplier and service provider in one. Rino and Sig. Every triangle is perfect. Now the “greenback” too. Pay and say nothing. Komori-sans admiration. From Salboni to Abuja.

Faded glory. 6 How Giesecke & Devrient struggles for technological leadership: in labore virtus - The puritan work ethic. He wins who dares. The crisis. The bid for technological leadership. 7 Where hard work and politics helped Francois Charles Oberthur Fiduciaire: “Phoenix from the ashes”. Challenges. 8 What brought Bundesdruckerei to the brink of ruin: Global dreams... ... and the hard realities at home. Rescuers or robbers?. 9 How Ciccone Calcográfica wasted its fiduciary capital: Secure printing without security. Sole note printer in the Southern Hemisphere. Banknotes for kleptocrats. “Real-phony” Bahrain dinars. Money Jitters - 10 Why the euro became a bonanza for moneymakers: Friendly enemies. Euro investment rapture. The French patient. The political note. Ruining competitors with an equipment binge. Euro bonanza. Mistakes, mishaps, and misprints. The unloved rescuers. Euro quality. 11 Why there is a problem with the euro's security: “Digifeiting”, the new copying quality. Icon in distress. Mysterious supernote. Euro frailties.
