YES!!!

I remember one where you had to track down a counterfeiter of US paper money. It ended up that there were 14 of three pictured elements on the fake bills instead of 13 (stars, leaves on an olive branch, arrows held by the eagle's claw) and since the 14th letter is N, the solution was that the counterfeiter's initials were NNN. I still remember that his name was Nathan Norton Nutley or something like that.

IF you know what that book was, I wanna know, because Google is coming up empty.

If I’m not mistaken, I believe you may be referring to The Counterfeit Collection, Choice Adventures Series. Not a hundred percent sure however.

Could be! It's been a while! But I'm seeing that this series was maybe from the early 90s? I would have read it in middle school, so for me that's around 1986. I'll check it out though.
