It comes from a story I read. I read it years ago, so the details are vague, and I don't know if it's true or not, but it basically goes like this. This peddler came to visit the capital city, and Vlad insisted that it was safe enough for him to spend the night in the town square. However, he was robbed of 200 copper coins. Vlad told an assistant to give the peddler 201 copper coins, and told other assistants to go to the surrounding neighborhoods & tell the citizens that he'd burn the neighborhoods down if they didn't surrender the robber. Before the peddler left, he visited Vlad and told him there was one extra coin, which he was returning. Just then they brought in the robber, and that's when Vlad made the quote. For the record, the other entries are from Whose Line Is It Anyway? (US version), The Rugrats Passover special, Whose Line Is It Anyway? (US version) (again), and an Arby's commercial.
