	I noticed the other day that there's a difference between the audiobook version of Making Money and the American hardback-- near the end when Moist suggests distributing the control secret for the golem army, Vetinari's response differs: In the audiobook he explains that the secret was distributed all the way to King Diamond, using top-secret diplomatic codes, while in the American hardcover, King Diamond isn't mentioned and instead they discuss not using giant killer golems. Anybody know anything about this difference or find it interesting?
