'Whoever said you can't fool an honest man wasn't one'
The Royal Bank is facing a crisis, and it's time for a change of management. Who would not wish for that job?
It's a job for life. But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, the life is not necessarily for long.
The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire. There's something nameless in the cellar (and the cellar itself is pretty nameless), it turns out that the Royal Mint runs at a loss, and people actually want to know where the money's gone. A 300 year old wizard is after his girlfriend, he's about to be exposed as a fraud, but the Assassins Guild might get him first. In fact lot of people want him dead
Oh. And every day he has to take the Chairman for walkies.
Everywhere he looks he's making enemies.
What he should be doing is . . . Making Money!

      Who would you put in charge of the Royal Mint of Ankh-Morpork? Lord Vetinari believes the best man for the job is a crook--Moist von Lipwig, the reformed con artist who heads the post office, to be specific. Stephen Briggs fills this Discworld novel with the haughty tones of a world of banking, old money, and an officialdom that oozes of trouble for anyone who deals with it. Terry Pratchett's fast-moving novel mixes satire and fantasy with increasingly frantic farce as he races to a conclusion involving golems, necromancers, and a royal hearing. Who knew the dull, dry banking world could be so much fun? J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

      Reprieved confidence trickster Moist von Lipwig, who reorganized the Ankh-Morpork Post Office in 2004’s Going Postal
      , turns his attention to the Royal Mint in this splendid Discworld adventure. It seems that the aristocratic families who run the mint are running it into the ground, and benevolent despot Lord Vetinari thinks Moist can do better. Despite his fondness for money, Moist doesn’t want the job, but since he has recently become the guardian of the mint’s majority shareholder (an elderly terrier) and snubbing Vetinari’s offer would activate an Assassins Guild contract, he reluctantly accepts. Pratchett throws in a mad scientist with a working economic model, disappearing gold reserves and an army of golems, once more using the Disc as an educational and entertaining mirror of human squabbles and flaws
