You could always just invent the concept of money in a way the benefited you greatly.

To be the villian of a bad 50's sci-fi movie plot just to sustain your weapons?

Alternately, you could hang out with these guys (warning:  may encounter Irenicus Evil Genius).

Is it really stealing if humans don't exist to claim it yet? :P

That isn't possible, money came from goldsmiths giveing you paper saying 'this is worth this much gold' so people didn't need to carry around like 50 pounds of gold at once.

What if, instead of telling people to value gold, we told them to value bats instead! Then I, BATMAN, will be rich!

I don't think it works like that.  But, hey, if bewildered expressions are your thing, you've got a goldmine on your hands.

They valued gold becouse it was shiny and hard to get, bats are neither. Teach them to value radiotactive materials, just for giggles.

That is...a less than wise course of action.

Sooner or later, someone is going to figure out that anyone who is around the valuable uranium seems to die for no apparent reason.

Pitchblend it is! Also, the cure for the plauge is to take the fleas that those nasty rats have on them and put them in your hair. Because the reason that the rats don't die from the plauge is because they have the fleas biting them.  ;D

Quiet MSH, let a man dream of a world of humans horribly mutated by radioactive materials.

Tastefully done, although in theory exposing a large enough population to low levels of radiation over generations and generations is bound to produce some interesting results. Most will die, but a few, those unlucky few, will be more prone to genetic desease.

Hence the world dream. But in reality, if I had a time machine I would just do what I already said, give Alexander the Great modern medicine so he survives that whole getting sick from a river full of shit thing. Well that and perhaps, just perhaps. blow up rome before it becomes the superpower it became, just to see what happens.

I would have gone back to when Hitler was a young teenager and introduced him to a cute jewish girl, then went into the future to see what had changed.
