The Colossus was built using thermionic valves, thyratrons, relays and stepping switches.
The Colossus Mark 1 used about 1600 valves and the Colossus Mark 2 used about 2400 valves. After the Colossus Mark 2 was in production and use the single Colossus Mark 1 was briefly shutdown and upgraded to a Colossus Mark 2. Five of the ten Colossus machines also had a device called the "gadget" that aided in a process called "rectangling", the number of additional valves added to each of these enhanced Colossus Mark 2 machines is unknown.

What was the third computer called?
Since an Abacus is technically a computer, I can only assume you mean the third binary electronic computer. This was called "Colossus Mark 1" and was developed in the UK to read encrypted German messages during World War II.The Colossus machines were the first programmable, digital, electronic, computing devices and went through several revisions so if you define a computer in this way, a Colossus machine would still have been the third computer device ever to be constructed.After World War Two all the blueprints and Colossus hardware were destroyed in the interests of National Security and it was not for many years that its designers would receive the credit they deserved for the world's first programmable electronic computer.
How does a vending machine tell money apart?
Each machine has a coin mechanism and a bill validator. The coin mechanism weighs the coin's and distributes change for the bill validator. The validator checks the bills as they are inserted, many need to be upgraded to the new bill, so if a machine does not take the new bills it is not necessarily broken just needs to be upgraded.ThanksHope this helps
How much valves are in a modern day computer?
There are no valves in a modern computer. If by valves you mean vacuum tubes, the equivalent is a transistor. Modern CPUs have many transistors/gates on their dies. The SandyBridge i7, a near-top end general purpose computer COU can have 2.2 billon transistor elements on the CPU die. Of course there are many more transistors incorporated in the logic chips, controllers and video cards in a computer as well.
