So what is "smasher" in this case?
- Similar to a forger who who makes fake money.
- Burglars who smash windows into someone's house, or smash glass showcases at the jewelry store.

A smasher is a person who puts counterfeit coins into circulation. Here's the relevant definition from A Dictionary of Archaisms and Provincialisms (1855):
Smasher
a passer of counterfeit coin.
(This definition was in earlier sources too; the Oxford English Dictionary cites it as being in the 1795 edition of A new dictionary of all the cant and flash languages, both ancient and modern.)
