I'm not sure whether this counts, but Erin the Green (aka The Forger's Farwell, aka Adieu Lovely Erinn) Roud 6992, concerns an engraver who turns his hand to counterfeiting bank notes.

SFAIK, the song has only been collected once (from Robert Cinnamond of Ballinderry Co. Antrim) but appears on CD quite a lot, courtesy of other singers. So a bit of googling should find it.
