  • THE CENTENARY of OUR MODERN COINAGE INSTITUTED in FEBRUARY, I8I7, and the ISSUES WHICH PRE­ CEDED IT in GEORGE Ill's REIGN
    THE CENTENARY OF OUR MODERN COINAGE INSTITUTED IN FEBRUARY, I8I7, AND THE ISSUES WHICH PRE­ CEDED IT IN GEORGE Ill's REIGN. BY' LIEUT.-COLONEL H. W. MORRIESON, F.S.A. HIS month, February, I9I7, sees the celebration of the centenary of an event of much interest to the members of this Society, viz., that of the introduction of the coinage of this realm as we now know it, for it was on February I3th, I8I7, that the exchange of the new money for the old was inaugurated. Not only was a new coinage introduced, but a new standard, a single one of gold. Up to that time silver had been' current as well as gold, which led to a fluctuation of the value of gold in comparison with that of silver. The guinea, the then principal gold coin, was originally issued by Charles II as a twenty-shilling piece, but I think none was ever procurable for twenty silver shillings. The premium varied till I7I7, when it became fixed at one shilling, and since that date the guinea has ever since been reckoned as a twenty-one-shilling piece, that mythical coin so dear to professional people, Secretaries of Clubs, etc. Samuel Pepys, in his Diary for October 29th, I660, gives an example of the variation of the guinea: " Thence by coach (having in the Hall bought me a velvet riding cap, cost me 20S.)" to my taylor's, and there bespoke a plain vest and so to my goldsmith to bid him to look out for some gold for me; and he tells me that ginneys, which I bought 2000 not long ago, and cost me but I81d.

  • Misremembering a Common Object: When Left Is Not Right
    Memory & Cognition 1990, 18 (2), 174-182 Misremembering a common object: When left is not right GREGORY V, JONES University of Warwick, Coventry, England Three experiments were carried out to investigate people's memory for British coins. Two prin­ cipal issues were studied. First, it has previously been shown that memory for U.S. pennies and other coins is surprisingly imperfect. How do other countries compare? It turned out that recall ofthe design of British pennies was, if anything, worse even than that of U.S. pennies. The situa­ tion was no better for a larger coin with an unusual shape. It is suggested that individual fea­ tures are poorly remembered if they have low levels of meaningfulness, redundancy, identifi­ ability, and discriminativeness. Second, in addition to this generally weak level of remembering, an instance of systematic misremembering was consistently observed. The Queen's portrait al­ ways faces to the right on British coins. Yet in all three experiments, the proportion ofparticipants who recalled that the portrait faces to the right was so low (overall, 19%)that it was significantly less than even the 50% baseline to be expected from people in a state of complete ignorance. It follows that the participants were not in a state of complete ignorance. Rather, they relied upon extraneous knowledge of either a general or a specificnature (bias and schema hypotheses, respec­ tively), whose importation into this domain was in fact invalid. The resulting belief that coin portraits face left was not right. For over a decade now, much interest has been focused the twenty participants correctly recalled and located all on the role of memory processes in the everyday world eight features.

  • Notes on British Money of Adam Smith's Time
    K.D. Hoover Adam Smith and the System of Natural Liberty Revised, 15 November 2020 Notes on British Money of Adam Smith’s Time The official British monetary unit in Adam Smith’s time, as today, is the pound sterling. As its name implies it was originally a silver currency, but by the 1750s, Britain had adopted the gold standard. Until 1971, the pound was divided into 20 shillings, and each shilling was worth 12 pence, so that the pound was worth 240 pence. The standard symbol for pounds is £, usually written before the numerals (e.g., £130). Frequently, when subparts of pounds are included, pounds/shillings/pence are written l/s/d, usually written after the numerals (e.g., 4 pounds, 7 shillings, and 9 pence is written 4 l. 7s. 9d). While this seems like a complicated system to us who are used to the decimal system, it was a commonplace system in early modern Europe. Decimalization began with the French Revolution. Britain had little use for France, and so resisted longer than most other countries. In fact, the prime factors of 12 and 20 are more numerous than those of 10, so that, once one is used to it, the old system is not so hard for mental arithmetic. th In Smith’s time and through most of the 19 century, the pound sterling was defined by its gold value: 1 Troy ounce of gold = 3 l. 17s 10½d (the most common way of stating it) or, put 1 inversely, £1 = 0.2242 (i.e., 1 pound was worth between /5 and ¼) Troy ounce of gold.

A well-centred strike, with the full plume of Athena’s helmet visible. This impressive archaic tetradrachm was issued a decade before the first Persian war. Athens provided the Ionian Greeks with assistance in their rebellion against the Persians, but aside from the sack of Sardes, the campaign was unsuccessful. Nonetheless, the Persian King Darius, aiming to punish Athens for their support of the Ionian rebellion, launched an invasion of Greece, landing at Marathon in 490 BC. Only twenty five miles from the city of Athens, the vastly outnumbered Athenian hoplite force crushed the invading Persian army, who turned and fled after suffering horrendous casualties.
