Ep 197 - Sir Isaac Newton & The Cunning Counterfeiter
About this episode
Ep 197 is loose and this week we have a historic battle of the minds and money in the mad cap tale of William Chaloner.
Who was this cocky young criminal? Why did he get under Isaac Newton's wig? And what do your watches come with?
The secret ingredient is... The Royal Mint!
