During the Second World War the German Operation Bernhard attempted to counterfeit denominations between £5 and £50 producing 500,000 notes each month in 1943.

Millions of counterfeit pound sterling notes (£100+ million) were dumped in the lake after Operation Bernhard, which was never fully put into action.

Damned nice of our American cousins to supply the enefny with the essential man for their Operation Bernhard.

You said Operation Bernhard did surprisingly little damage.
