Finance Smurf (original French title: Le Schtroumpf Financier) is the sixteenth album of the original French-language Smurfs comic series created by Belgian artist Peyo.
[1][2] It is Pierre Culliford's last comic book work before his death on December 24, 1992.
Papa Smurf's lab explodes while he is making the formula "Ad Capitis mala et alios dolores sanandos", which is how much Brainy Smurf can read because he is unable to translate it properly as he claims.
Homnibus realizes that Papa Smurf has fallen sick due to using sulfur in the formula.
However, Homnibus lacks some ingredients needed for the cure, so he sends his servant Oliver to buy some.
The Smurf goes along with Oliver and learns about money and the humans' commerce system.
Farmer Smurf doesn't trust the institution and goes to bury his money in the forest, only to encounter the wizard Gargamel there.
Farmer Smurf returns to the forest to find his lost coin.
Gargamel has placed a yellow-painted lead coin as bait that lures Farmer Smurf into the trap.
He decides he doesn't want to be alone, so he asks everybody to return to the village and reuse the old system based on cooperation.
