English coins have developed and changed over time. In the early 1600s" coins were made using the hammer struck method. Hammered coins or cast coins where the primary way coins were made and thus limited the number of coins that may be placed into circulation (流通). Hammered coins were made as far back as the first millennium BC with continued in use until the 1500s to the 1700s. English coins underwent a change in about 1663.
Hammered English coins were made using a blank quantity of metal that was the required weight and placing it between two dies. A die is a mold (模子) that allows the metal to get cut to a certain size and shape.The metal die contained an image that when hammered without delay would mold the image on each side of the coin. The unit was customarily place on a log or other firm surface which was known as a pile. One person held the die while a second person struck it.
There were several issues with this kind of coin making. For one thing, it was extremely slow and work in depth. Comparatively few coins might be made and placed into circulation. A second problem was that hammered coins had many irregularities. When several coins were placed together in a container and shaken about they were damaged as well. That is why older English coins might have chips(缺口) and rough edges.
During the 17th century hammered coins were replaced with milled (轧有花边的) coins. While France was the first country to start producing coins that were made entirely by machine, Britain wasn"t far behind. Britain, in fact, began to manufacture coins on a trial basis in the mid1500s, but it wasn"t until the end of 1662 that English coins were made completely by machine.
The screw press (螺旋压力机) was the first machine to produce coins as an alternative to hammered coins. Leonardo da Vinci was the person who invented the screw press in the 15th century. It was powered by a water mill. Early on efforts were made to protect the coins by edging. You"ll see that Englishmade coins have milled edges.
Milled English coins were much more standard in size and shape as well. The speed at which milled coins could be created allowed the coin circulation to grow and a greater number of coin types to be developed.
English coins were used in this country during the royally period. Hammered coins were produced and used up through the end of the 18th century and were given out across the colonies. English coins went through quite a lot of changes as can be seen in old coins that have been started in the US over time.

试题【The history of English CoinsEnglish coins have developed and changed over time. 】；主要考察你对数词等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Lack of proper preparation. Failure to gather information on the company and the job before the interview makes a very poor impression on interviewers; it suggests that you really are not that interested in the position.
Inappropriate personal appearance. Consider the nature of the position and dress accordingly. When in doubt, dress somewhat more formally than you think would be expected for the job. Be conservative (保守的)and pay attention to details, such as shiny shoes, neat hair, etc. First impressions are very important.
Poor nonverbal communication. In addition to what you are saying, your nonverbal behavior is very important in an interview. Are you making eye contact? Are you listening attentively when the interviewer is speaking? Are you giving a firm handshake when greeted by the interviewer(s)? Are you nervous during the interview? Practice with a friend or in front of a mirror to assess these factors.
Poor attitude. Selfcentered behavior (i.e. a “what"s in it for me” attitude) is very poorly received by interviewers. Ask yourself what you can contribute to the company? What skills and experience would you bring to the job?
Failure to ask questions. Employers will assess your interest in the company and the position by the types of questions you ask. Proper research prior to the interview will help ensure that the questions you ask are intelligent ones.
Being disorganized. Make sure you arrive at the interview a few minutes early so that you have time to get calm and check your appearance. Arriving late is simply unacceptable, so plan for the unexpected. Always bring an extra copy of your resume (简历) and references to an interview.
Over or underanswering questions. For most interview questions a “Yes” or “No” answer is not appropriate. Provide more details for an employer and cite (引用) examples from personal experience wherever possible. Do not, however, talk endlessly and feel that you have to keep speaking if there"s a silence. When you have said what you want to say, stop talking. If you do not understand a question, seek clear explanation before responding.
Failure to send a thankyou note or card following the interview. Take the time to send a thankyou card，which can make an important impact on an employer. Not only does it show your sincere interest in the position, but it also helps make you different from other interview candidates.

1．Educate yourself. Write down what you have spent. Look closely at where your money has been going the last few months. Are you spending a lot more money on morning coffee than you want to? Just by adding up what you"re spending and where you"re spending it each month will help you make better decisions about the purchases you make.
2．Keep your change. Instead of spending your change, make a habit of putting it all in a special jar or “piggy bank” at home. You will be surprised how quickly your change adds up. Want to go on a family vacation next summer but don"t think you can afford it? Try having everyone in the family contribute their change to a “vacation jar”. Your family will enjoy pitching in and your children will learn valuable lessons in saving money and enjoying the reward.
3．Be a host! Like to go out with your friends for a good time? Sure, everyone does, but no one likes getting the bill at the end of the night. Going out to eat and have a few drinks can really put the strain on your wallet. Try going to the grocery store and purchasing food and drinks that can be made at home and inviting everyone over. Yes it can be expensive to play the host every time, but if you take turns going to friends, houses you can keep the cost down and still have a good time while enjoying the same food and drinks.
4．Plan your groceries. Grocery shopping can be dangerous in many ways. One way is to go shopping when you are hungry. Think about it, when you are hungry and want something to eat, you are more likely to put everything in your cart that you just don"t need. Impulse(冲动)shopping brings us to the next point. Make a list(and check it twice)．Plan out your meals for the coming week and list all the ingredients you need at the store.
Saving money can be easy and even funny when you see how much you are able to save. Start by educating yourself and your family as to where the money goes every month and then set goals. Make games out of saving your change and look forward to the reward.
