Whilst one large Anglo-Saxon silver penny and one much smaller Charles I silver penny both have the same nominal value (one penny) and are both made of the same material (silver), because the Anglo-Saxon coin is much larger and contains far more silver it has a higher commodity value – showing how a nominal value and commodity value can differ. The accurate value and quality of coins produced by The Royal Mint is determined through the Trial of the Pyx. Here we explore how coins are tested, and the role the Trial plays in ensuring The Royal Mint maintains the highest level of quality when producing the nation’s coinage. The Trial of the Pyx The Trial of the Pyx is a procedure which has taken place since 1282 and is an annual judicial ceremony to test and ensure that The Royal Mint’s newly minted coins meet the required standards. The Trial is held every February and is judged by a jury of over six assayers from the Company of Goldsmiths, who are independent from The Royal Mint. After the coins have been inspected and judged for their weight, diameter, and composition, the verdict is then read aloud by the Clerk of the Goldsmiths’ Company at the instruction of the Senior Master and Queen’s Remembrancer – an ancient post created in 1154 by Henry II, and the oldest judicial position still in existence. This verdict is received by the Chancellor of the Exchequer under their capacity of Master of the Mint. In the past, if the coinage is found to be substandard, the trial carried a variety of punishments for the Master of the Mint, including a fine, removal from office, or imprisonment. However, these do not happen today. Isaac Newton and the 1710 Trial One of the most famous, and most controversial, examples surrounding the inaccurate value of coins comes from the 1710 Trial of the Pyx, where Isaac Newton’s coins were found to not contain enough gold. In 1696, Sir Isaac Newton moved from his post at Cambridge University to London to first become the Warden of The Royal Mint, and three years later, the Master of the Mint. Portrait of Sir Isaac NewtonImage Credit: The Royal Mint The role of Master of the Mint had traditionally been a ceremonial one, however, Newton wanted to make a contribution. He encouraged the engravers to up-skill themselves by taking on outside work, increasing the quality of their coins which also made them more difficult to counterfeit. Newton also started fastidiously pursuing counterfeiters through the courts which resulted in The Royal Mint gaining the reputation of one of the most trustworthy and accurate Mints in the world. Note from Sir Isaac Newton re a Draft SubmissionImage Credit: The Royal Mint Therefore, when Newtons coins were judged as being below the required standard and not containing enough gold in the 1710 Trial of the Pyx, Newton reacted angrily, and set about proving the judgement procedure as faulty. The coins in question had been compared with a new gold Trial of the Pyx Plate, introduced in 1707, and Newton managed to prove that it was in fact the plate that contained too much gold, and therefore his coins were not below the required standard. As a result, the earlier trial plate of 1688 was returned to use. 1688 Gold Trial PlateImage Credit: The Royal Mint

Why were Israeli citizens told not to worry about increased tensions on the Gaza border & to go on with their festivities? Why was the Nova dance festival relocated to the Gaza border 2 days prior? Israeli, American & Egyptian intel all warned Israel of the Hamas 2 year planned hostage taking operation. They knew- they even had secret security meetings the night before, so why weren't they prepared? - Why was the IDF ordered to stand down for 6 hours? And lastly, when the IDF finally came - why did they enact 'Mass Hannibal' and kill hundreds of Israelis? Was this all to give Hamas time to take as many hostages as possible and then to kill as many people as possible- so that they could blame the bloodshed on Hamas & garner international support to cleanse Gaza of its population for a genocidal land grab? ********* Part 2 info continued: ‪The only two survivors of the Be’eri massacre Yasmin Port & Hadas Dagan told us the IDF killed EVERYONE at Be’eri when the tanks arrived and started shelling the houses.‬ - Yasmin also said Hamas didn’t execute or rape anyone at Be’eri.

One kind neighbor made this dog the happiest pooch on the block by visiting him while his owner was at work — every day! Mackenzie Roberts shared the sweetest security camera footage on social media of the local elderly gentleman stopping by her house to see Beau on multiple occasions. Every time the man walked through the door, the pup went wild with excitement. Beau was so happy to have a visitor while waiting for Mom to come home! In Mackenzie’s clips, her neighbor would walk right into the house while the dog was sitting patiently on the couch. When the door opened, Beau’s tail would start wagging enthusiastically. Sometimes, the pooch would already be waiting by the entrance when the elderly man arrived, ready to greet him! @macrob24 I wouldn’t have gotten through my husbands deployment if it weren’t for my friend Wayne who took Beau to the park everyday while I was at work #dog #friend #navy #washington #fypage ♬ Stuff We Did (from ‘Up’) – Piano Version – your movie soundtrack This neighbor seemed equally happy to see the friendly dog every day. Whenever he’d come over, he’d say “Hi Beau! How are you?” in the sweetest voice. Mackenzie was extremely grateful for this man’s help in keeping her pup occupied. According to her post, he did more than just visit the dog. He also made sure Beau got his exercise outdoors! “I wouldn’t have gotten through my husband’s deployment if it weren’t for my friend Wayne who took Beau to the park everyday while I was at work,” the pet owner wrote in her social media caption. Commenters loved seeing the wholesome footage of Mackenzie’s neighbor hanging out with the sweet dog. They especially loved the adorable way that Wayne addressed the pooch every time he came by. Many also noted that the elderly man seemed to be benefitting from these visits, too. Screengrab from TikTok “It’s amazing how your friend probably needed this and your dog also needed a friend,” wrote one user. “This made me bawl.” “The way they both needed this is what makes it so special,” added another. We’re so glad that Wayne and Beau were there to keep each other company on lonely days! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Paranormal reports dating back many decades have been rife with sightings of shadowy figures (literally) that have visited witnesses. These have largely been lumped into categories including the Hatman, Slenderman, and the more generic, ubiquitous "shadow people." Most such encounters are described as being unpleasant or at least disturbing. One thing they all share in common is that they seem to resemble the general shape or outline of a human figure. But while far less commonly reported, these are not the only types of shadowy figures being observed. Sometimes they take the form of animals as well, including common housepets. This is a subject that I have hesitated to cover for some time, but given events that have transpired over the past couple of years, I decided to dive in and do some research to report on it.
