The venerable art of counterfeiting was a subject of endless fascination for Stimes Addisson, whose modest yet thorough collection of coins included a large number of slugs, tokens, jetons and fake currency. His prize possession was an 1883 "V" nickel that had been dipped in gold so that it could be passed off as a five dollar gold piece, a practice not uncommon in the Western territories before the inclusion of the word "cents" on the coin to combat this very problem. It was worth a considerable amount of money and though he received numerous lucrative offers, such was Stimes' love for the coin that he never gave it up, even in his most financially-troubled hours.

Although counterfeiters operate in almost every area where money is literally to be made (i.e. currency, CD's, designer watches and handbags, etc.) it is the realm of ideas and information that concerns us here.
Counterfeit information is most regularly known as Disinformation, and its use forms a regular part of psy-ops and political campaigns. When used to discredit individuals or groups, counterfeit information is called a slander operation.
Scarlet Taxi
Perhaps the most notorious counterfeiting gang in the AA milieu were the Framers. These blackguards, underlings of the League of Gnomes, were responsible for the dissemination of disinformation designed to further Pooban ideals. Their favorite tactic was to carry out their operations and then leave evidence pointing a finger at the Unseen Hand, the undercover psy-ops organ of The League of Men with Fancy Gloves.
The Gnomes are said to have rewarded their subalterns with generous financial arrangements and furthered many a political career. According to Mathes (1955): "Although many denizens of the underworld dabble in monetary counterfeiting, the Framers were an ignoble group of intellectuals trained in Hegelalian usurpury who eradicated the fortified dissidents of their golden papyrus in order to establish the discordant atmosphere ripe for subterfuge and treason that all pay poobian homage unto." They found refuge in Third World countries and many of the authors of the International Fund for Social Relief were in fact Framers. Posing as an NGO provided them with the perfect cover and they concluded many an operation from within the deceptively lily-white walls of this sanctuary.
