So - How many 1/4 eagles does it take ....

True, there are two different "quarter eagles" floating around.

The old 0.900 fine 1920s, "face value of $2.50" with 3.762 net grams of gold, requires 9.75 coins per £5 coin.

The new 0.917 fine 1990s, "face value of $10.00" with 7.77 net grams of gold, only requires 4.7 coins per £5 coin.

There's an interesting glitch in the denominations; with a full ounce representing "$50.," you would expect the quarter-ounce to be "$12.50" but it's not.

How many Troy eagles is in 5 Kilos?

 

There's no such thing as a Troy eagle. I'm going to quote the correct answer for the last time and then consign this thread to the scrapheap of history.

Its not a Troy Eagle?

 

There's no such thing as a Troy eagle without more information. That term simply means an eagle measured in the Troy system of weights. The term "Troy eagle" doesn't specify whether the coin WEIGHS one Troy Ounce, or one Troy Pound (the "weight" pound, not the Briitsh currency "pound" -- there's no connection between the two), or weighs something else. In addition, the term "Troy eagle" in and of itself doesn't specify the fineness (0.680, 0.900, 0.917 etc., etc.) without which you can make no meaningful calculations.

Again. The POUND is the fundamental British unit of money, today worth roughly $1.56 U.S. Dollars. A Troy POUND is a unit of weight, equal to 12 Troy OUNCES.

Remember - TRUST you pharmacist.

 

I'm always a little suspicious of folks who can't spell their profession.

Do you mean apothecary, like a druggist???????

Or maybe this explains everything (from Google) -- Apothacy is a World of Warcraft guild with their guild site hosted at GuildPortal.com.

Or maybe you are just pulling my leg. That's possible. Doesn't matter, I"m outta here.

 

We are called Pharmacists now, and I can barely spell that.

I can spell Trifluperazine, Diazepam, and Azithromycin.

Doug, where are you going? I'm just being friendly.

Do you think that it was hard to get your degree brklyn?

 

Which one? The 5 Year Pharmacy degree or the PhD in Pharmaceutics?

 

An Apothecary, a Druggist, and a Pharmacist are not quite the same thing.

 

Yes - the Pharmacist is the one that gets a license. The druggist is the one my Grandmother went to, and an Apothecary is a druggist in the Hobbit.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen of Flight 0.999, this is your Captain speaking. We, umm, have been hijacked.

We have been hijacked by a group called the Billion Bullion Bears, and are heading toward a hard[-money] landing at an unknown destination.

We only have a Spoonful of fuel left but inflation's keeping us flying high. It's almost like magic. Do you believe in magic? In a young girl's heart?

That is all...

 

Umm - You brought a lot of Facebook stock?

 

Not a dime's worth. Last stock in the world I'd buy.

 

What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca-Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca-Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca-Cola, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.[24]
