i don't know if i was reading it wrong, but wouldn't he lose 4,000,000 Meso's.
1,300,00 Meso's for the Weapon
700,00 Meso's for the change
and
2,000,000 to pay back for the counterfeit .
The question misdirects you. the whole first transaction is all with Peplocks 2,000,000 meso bill so no money was personally lost by merchant but he did owe the 2,000,000 to the place for the forgery so that was considered a loss of 2,000,000 to the merchant.
