In "The Man Who Robbed the Mint!", Superman faces off against the Prankster, who's concocted a formula to strip green dye from paper money—turning real bills into blank sheets. With a scheme to reforge currency and turn worthless paper into gold, the Prankster lures people into handing over their cash, only to be stopped in his tracks by the Man of Steel. Penciled and inked by Joe Shuster, this 1947 classic features a clever twist on crime and currency, with a cover by Wayne Boring and Stan Kaye.
