What you have is a gaming token meant to imitate a Guinea (which was replaced by the sovereign in the great recoinage of 1816) and they were used to place bets much as modern Poker chips were. Chances are, your piece is not made in the 1700s but around the Victorian era and while they aren't really heavily collected they are worth $2-$5 as curiosities depending on the condition.

What is the value of a 1797 Georgivs III coin with the words in memory of the good old days?

Brass tokens with the inscription "In memory of the good old days" were issued between 1787 and 1799. They typically have a bust of George III (British monarch from 1760 - 1820) on the obverse surrounded by the inscription "Georgius III dei gratia" and a Coat of Arms surrounded by the inscription "In memory of the good old days" on the reverse. Smaller pieces roughly the size of the half guinea are also common. There is some evidence that these tokens were restruck in the 1860's. They are quite common with a value of a few dollars at most, and it is possible to put together a quite attractive collection of spade guineas for a modest cost. Their exact function is not known, but it is quite possible that they functioned as gambling tokens in a manner similar to today's poker chips.

What is the difference between main and auxiliary memory?

The major difference between main memory and auxiliary memory is that main memory is directly accessed by CPU but the auxiliary memory is not accessed by the CPU directly.For this the data is first transferred to main memory from auxiliary memory and then from main memory the data is transferred to the CPU for further processing.

Who discovered protein based memory in computers?

No computer yet built uses such memory. They use a variety of electronic memory or magnetic memory types (some very early ones used mechanical or acoustic delay memory, but these are very slow and bulky and were rapidly replaced with ferrite core magnetic memory when it was developed).

What are the 2 copper based SMAs?

The two copper-based shape memory alloys are copper-aluminum-nickel (Cu-Al-Ni) and copper-zinc-aluminum (Cu-Zn-Al). These alloys exhibit shape memory effect and superelasticity due to their unique crystal structure and phase transformation properties.


What 2 metals might be used for the edge connectors of memory modules and memory in which the slots they install?

memory module edge connectors are typically gold plated copper printed circuit traces, the gold provides corrosion resistance while the copper underneath provides electrical connections to the memory chips mounted on the module (and is much cheaper than gold)the slots the memory modules install into are typically gold plated phosphor bronze springs, the gold provides corrosion resistance while the phosphor bronze (an alloy containing copper, zinc, tin, iron, and phosphorus) underneath provides both electrical connections and a strong springiness that plain copper (a very soft weak metal) could not, ensuring a solid physical/electrical contact with the memory module's contacts.

640k ought be enough for anybody who said this?

This statement is attributed to Bill Gates in 1981, suggesting that 640 KB of memory should be sufficient for any computer user. At the time, memory limitations and technology were such that this amount of memory was considered substantial. However, the quote has since been misinterpreted and taken out of context, as it failed to consider the rapid advancement in technology and the increasing memory requirements of modern computing tasks.
