Christian conversion
If I remember well, this man became a Christian while in prison. I will verify this (it is well documented) and should provide references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.13.107.76 (talk) 12:16, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

I've fixed some typos and grammar errors, but someone with knowledge of events definitely needs to go through the article once more. For example, I don't know how to fix "...Karel Marang approached a Dutch printing company who told that the specific banknotes..." as the sense is not clear to me.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.155.89.64 (talk • contribs) 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Forgery?
Reading the article it seems that he didn't actually forge the notes. Rather, he fraudulently convinced the printers to run them off for him. Is this right? Should the caption be changed? Lisiate 02:32, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- The whole idea is that he fooled a legitimate printer to print unauthorized money instead of printing it himself. It is still forgery, because no government actually backed those bills. - Skysmith 08:49, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. He forged documents from the Bank of Portugal (incl. the signature of the Governor) that caused the legitimate printer (in London) to print the bills and deliver them to his accomplices. 167.206.60.130 15:54, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
"Notarized"
Why is the word "Notarized" with a hyperlink that points to "Wiktionary"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.180.185.238 (talk) 00:07, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
