===Go with something similar to the requirements that were to be put into
place to gain entrance to the mage's guild portion of the Forge.  Combo Air
Mage/Priest of Tarus tend to make the job easier, or if the bank is really
going to be of sufficient power/strength, couldn't they get a few magic
items made?  Sort of a force truth item, effect? (doesn't want to image the
exp cost) i.e. the bearer holding it cannot help but speak the truth, no
bending, wriggling, or magical manipulations permitted.
This wouldn't prevent falsifications that the bearer was unaware of,
however.  A method of detection would be needed...
(thinks) the Forge was going to have it's standard 'coin' actually be made
of a combination of metals, looking like a sort of medallion with a coin
captured in the middle of it.  The whole thing was actually capable of being
disassembled if you've sufficient traps-related skill into the center coin
and the 2-3 surrounding pieces, one of which was wholly inside the coin and
couldn't be seen while assembled.  The whole intent of this was to slow down
counterfeiting to the extent that it just wouldn't be profitable.  Hm.
Or just stick a few Quested/Geased dwarves behind the desk as material
authenticators.  Purity and weight are what matters, usually.
