Algys Budrys was a successful sci-fi writer but this was his only X Minus One story. Balmholtzer is an investigator for the galaxy. (And I thought I had a big territory for my customer base.) A cute brunette describes a machine that makes uncounerfeitable, indestructible currency. But they find some counterfeits and he is investigating. Balmholtzer is led to a jungle-like planet with 7-foot natives and an interesting item that can reproduce anything. This is what science fiction radio can do, tell a good imaginative story that keeps you interested. (from "The Critical X Minus One" by Jim Fanisher)
