Moist von Lipwig, condemned prisoner turned postal worker extraordinaire, is now in charge of a different branch of the government: overseeing the printing of Ankh-Morpork's first paper currency.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmazingly, former arch-swindler-turned-Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig has somehow managed to get the woefully inefficient Ankh-Morpork Post Office running like . . . well, not like a government office at all. Now the supreme despot Lord Vetinari is asking Moist if he'd like to make some real money. Vetinari wants Moist to resuscitate the venerable Royal Mint--so that perhaps it will no longer cost considerably more than a penny to make a penny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoist doesn't want the job. However, a request from Ankh-Morpork's current ruling tyrant isn't a \"request\" per se, more like a \"once-in-a-lifetime-offer-you-can-certainly-refuse-if-you-feel-you've-lived-quite-long-enough.\" So Moist will just have to learn to deal with elderly Royal Bank chairman Topsy (née Turvy) Lavish and her two loaded crossbows, a face-lapping Mint manager, and a chief clerk who's probably a vampire. But he'll soon be making lethal enemies as well as money, especially if he can't figure out where all the gold has gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Discworld novels can be read in any order, but\u003c\/em\u003e Making Money \u003cem\u003eis the second book in the Moist von Lipwig series.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r","brand":"Terry Pratchett","offers":[{"title":"Mass Market Paperbound","offer_id":44441179226348,"sku":"9780062334992","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44441179259116,"sku":"9780573112645","price":28.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780062334992.jpg?v=1720751928","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/making-money","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
