It's not a major deal as nobody will use them, but it's strange to have a company on US legal tender. I wonder what percent of the run Cray will buy?

- fredoralive 1y agoPresumably some, although HPE don’t use the old Cray logo, and the name is a bit downplayed when they talk about their supercomputer stuff, although it is still used (like most old computer companies, naturally they’ve ended up owned by HPE, who seem to collect them).
- boomboomsubban 1y agoAh, I noticed they had been acquired by HPE, but their Wikipedia article still listed revenue so I assumed they were a subsidiary. Looking again, the revenue is from the year before the acquisition. My mistake.
- keiferski 1y agoThere isn’t a company on the coins, just the supercomputer device itself. The Jobs coin has Jobs himself.
- boomboomsubban 1y agoThe device is followed by the word "Cray" and overall it's similar enough to their trademarked logo I imagine I'd get in trouble if I tried to use it.
- keiferski 1y agoYeah I just meant the actual device is being honored, not the corporation itself.
