    So... someone needs to create an adaptation of this story that somehow uses both plots - man is travelling the worlds of the multiverse using a fake passport from one of the nations that's generally pretty likely to form. He robs a bank in one universe, then converts the stolen currency into something portable and valuable in multiple universes while visiting a second "nearby" universe where the money should pass as legitimate. This is all actually the bootstrap stages of a longer plan with much higher payoffs. Once he has several months of operating funds, he can set up companies in multiple timelines that are meant to collate information about technology into a digest form that he can use to find technological advancements that haven't been made in the timeline he wishes to settle in. There, he can become a rich industrialist or sell the patents for shares in various companies. (This is the 1950's after all, a lot of the fun technology arbitrage stuff just isn't possible yet.)

    I'm reminded of the days when Concorde used to fly up the Channel heading into Paris. Some nights, you would hear a boom many miles away, dad would look at the clock and say "Concorde's on time!" It could be heard all over Southern England in the right conditions, but it was interesting that it would set off all the pheasants at roost and start them chattering as the sound hit them. Even when we couldn't hear it, the pheasants would still sense the pressure wave at the same time and start their clamour.
