Penge som græs (1948)

National economist and idealist P. Kronestrøm tries to compensate for the unemployment of the 30s by putting a lot of fake money into circulation. After 8 years in prison, he comes out to a post-war period where problems are inflation's abundance of money and the market's scarcity of goods. Therefore, he ends up stealing DKK 15,000. And set fire to them.
