basicbob101 Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 04/15/2007 10:47 pm "Men make counterfeit money, but more often money makes counterfeit men" I think I know but want to be sure, surely someone on this site knows; I would also like to locate the particular occasion or publication where it first occurred. The person I am thinking said it was Benjamin Franklin, but if so I don't know when or where. Any help out there? Report this Post to the Staff
