From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Treasury of Croesus is a comic story made by Don Rosa.
[edit] Plot
Scrooge McDuck foils what Donald Duck calls "Magica De Spell's most bizarre and complex scheme yet". Donald says none of them will be satisfied until becoming so rich as Croesus. Scrooge says he's already richer then Croesus once was (actually the doubt about who's the richest man on history remains a doubt around all the story). Huey, Dewey and Louie tell them about an exposition at Duckburg museum about Croesus, much to Donald's surprise, as he didn't know Croesus really existed. this visit leads our heroes to search for his treasure, as Scrooge himself did 50 years ago. They find the treasure but all Scrooge keeps is his first coin. Upon learning a witch named Circe wanted the first coin minted by Croesus for the same reason Magica wants the Number One Dime, Scrooge finds a way to turn this tragedy in a triumph: he gave the coin to Magica. If the spell worked, she would no longer try to steal the Number One Dime. Because it didn't, much to Donald's relief as she tested the amulet on him, Scrooge is now sure he is richer than Croesus once was.
