The Invisible Hand gets its due credit! Smith's influence (and benefit) on the world's economy will always be far greater than that of Marx.

I'd rather the world's economies would follow his economic theory.

Smith: "I'm going to make this ring redder than you! Meet my tag team partner-the Invisible Hand!" (an invisible force starts knocking Marx around the ring).

Nick Diamond: "Oh, my God! Smith is using a classic technique, the invisible force of the free market!"

Johnny Gomez: "I'll bet Marx is wishing he was being given some opiate of the masses right now for the pain he's feeling!"

Diamond: "He may not believe in free markets, but Marx is literally getting a first-hand lesson in why the Soviet Union got its butt whipped!"

Gomez: "Now the same thing's happening to him!" (Both men laugh)

Will they be putting Keynes on the three pound note?

I like how they have "specimen" marked on the bills, apparently in the belief that a bank teller might mistake a 3x2 foot piece of cardboard for actual money.
