The Counterfeit Coin

An honest, reserved goldsmith and engraver, Anargyros Loumbardopoulos (Vassilis Logothetidis), has routinely invested his money in gold coins, specifically United Kingdom Sovereign (British coin)s, bought from a friend of his, a banker. Upon having stored away 100 sovereigns, a man working for the banker suggests that Anargyros starts Coin counterfeiting, but he adamantly refuses. The banker employee then introduces Anargyros to a divorced attractive lady, Fifi (Ilya Livykou) that he knows. Anargyros' resistance is soon curbed by Fifi's sexual means, and he spends all his invested 100 sovereigns to buy minting equipment. After much toil the trio produce their first counterfeit coin but Anargyros finds it difficult to deceive people into accepting it a currency because they easily understand it is not a genuine coin. When the sinister employee is arrested, Anargyros fears that the police has discovered their crime and panicked he gets rid of all the counterfeiting equipment and he also abandons Fifi. It is eventually revealed that it was a misunderstanding and the employee was arrested for other reasons. Safe again, Anargyros returns to his honest work and daily routine but trying to get rid of the counterfeit coin he gives it away as charity to a apparently blind beggar. The beggar sees through the deceit but Anargyros flees in a hurry. The beggar (Mimis Fotopoulos) is in fact a cunning liar with exceptional eyesight who manages to earn the pity of everyone with his fake blindness. But a street prostitute, Maria (Sperantza Vrana) starts hooking up near the beggar's corner and they find themselves
