Attitude. Scrooge is very optimistic. There is always another rainbow. Plenty to go around. More than enough for all. Glass is always half-full. Opportunities are always just around the corner.
Resilience. Scrooge is never one to walk away from a challenge or money making opportunity.

This episode entitled “Dough Ray Me” aired on November 3, 1989 and was the 82nd episode of the series. The boys are able to duplicate money and the self-duplicating coins spread through Duckburg.
