Don’t mess with a genius (2010)
Summary: Newton and the Counterfeiter is a book that highlights an often-overlooked phase of Isaac Newton's career as Warden of the Mint. It tells the story of Newton's efforts to bring criminals to justice, including his personal involvement in interrogating suspects and visiting London's gin houses in disguise. The book also details Newton's battle against counterfeiter William Chaloner, who challenged Newton's authority and nearly cost him his job. Ultimately, Newton's dedication and systematic approach led to Chaloner's conviction and execution.
