What I've wanted to do is to get this Nigeria scammers to talk to the Hong Kong scammers and see if they can scam each other.

There are some errors in the table. the German currency was the Reichsmark, the Hungarian pengő is misspelled since they did not use the special ő which is only used in Hungarian, and I think the Yuan had higher denominations than the Drachma (according to the wiki: 180,000,000 ).

Sounds like a good deal, but I'll need the money from you first

I believe one of the guys at www.419eater.com (a scambaiter website that makes fools of scammers worldwide) has actually got rival scammers to try and scam each other. That'll teach them ;)
