The second Moist von Lipwig book, in which he's transferred against his will from the Post Office to the Royal Mint and Bank of Ankh-Morpork, which he proceeds to turn upside-down in various ways. Neither the story nor the characters are particularly memorable by Pratchett's standards, but the book is witty and entertaining and perhaps even mildly educational, and ends not merely with a flourish but with a series of flourishes. The chief baddy (Cosmo Lavish) is rather tiresome.
