The Cambridge Don, the Warden of the Mint

Newton was Warden of the Mint, but it wasn't officially his job. He had to handle this enormous re-coinage which he did brilliantly. As part of being Warden you were in charge of policing the currency and tracking down criminals. So let me just remind you here where, you know, Challenger comes out. This was a scam that a lot of people, you know,. has anybody here read the conspiracy of paper by David Liss? Jonathan Wilde, the criminal that's featured in that novel, was a real figure who did exactly what Challenger did a few years after Challenger was executed.
