True story, my grand dad on my dad's side was well dodgy, the stories are great.He went to jail for 5 years (I think ,can't remember) for turning 10x £5 notes into 11 by cutting them into 10 strips leaving one out of each one.
My dad and his brothers'n'sister thought it was arts'n'crafts.

You get 10 £5 notes (remember, late 40s/early 50s here), and devid them up by 10%... so you have 10 strips of £5 notes. You take the first 10% from the first £5, the second 10% from the second £5.... and so on, until you have 11 £5 notes that are a little bit (10%) shorter (but still valid, at the time).
