What is the name of dotted minim?

The dotted minim is a minim note in which the time value is extended by a half of its value by a dot.


Name two coins that equal 55cent?

Half dollar and a nickel. (A bit of a waste given that half dollars are only minted for collectors now, as they were the last silver coin to be minted in large numbers, which meant everyone hoarded them, which means people stopped using them for day to day transactions, which meant that the quarter replaced it as the coin of choice.)


Why is a dime smarter than a nickel?

The information given below is very interesting but it doesn't answer this question, which is a neat little riddle...More information about dimes and nickelsIt used to be that coins were made in an alloy close to their value. Before the nickel was introduced in 1866, the US used a small coin called a "Half Dime" which was thinner and smaller than a dime and it was struck in silver. Due to pressure from the nickel lobby, the US eventually started minting several denominations in nickel, the three cent piece in 1865 (replacing the tiny silver three cent piece) and also introducing nickel into the small cents (the Flying Eagles and the early Indian Heads) . The nickel was larger because nickel was much less expensive than silver and so you'd need a larger coin to get about the same value as the half dime. The half dime continued to circulate with the nickel until 1873 when the half-dime was discontinued.And more ...The joke is (drum roll) that a dime has twice as much "cents" (ba-DING!)


What is a dotted minim worth?

A minim worth two beats. The dot to a note worth half of the note value. Hence the dotted minim has three beats.


What is the value of 1780 guilielmus shakespeare coin?

What you most likely have is a type of "Conder Token". In England, there was a shortage of official copper coins since the Royal Mint did not strike copper pennies, half pennies or farthings during the early reign of George III (they would resume striking copper coins in 1797). Because of the need of small change, people would either use counterfeit coins (they would be slightly underweight which allowed for a profit for the counterfeiter and because of the need for copper coins, counterfeiting of these small denominations was overlooked by the authorities) or they would use "tokens" made by businesses or private individuals for change. I can't seem to find any reference for a coin similar to yours, but assuming this is a copper coin, that might be a starting point to try to identify it. If we assume for a moment this is indeed a conder token, the value is fairly modest if circulated. There are many rare varieties, but, although conder tokens are fairly widely collected, the values are much lower than what you'd expect to see in a US or official British coin of the same rarity. If we figure out this to be a common type, values would range from $3-$20 if circulated and $50+ if in better condition.
