I'm puzzled at the amount of bad analysis in this thread.
A few playthroughs are going to show that swindler is strong (though very swingy), that knights aren't that useful in most situations (depending on the order), and that Counterfeit by itself is to way too slow to clear that many coppers in the face of mass swindling. Also that Governor golds and silver junking are very good as I mentioned before.
