History of copper currency in Sweden. An 8 daler piece of plate money (plÃ¥tmynt) in the British Museum. The Swedish Empire had the greatest and most numerous copper mines in Europe as it entered into its pre-eminence in the early 17th century as an emerging Great Power.
Eventually, the non-legal tender status of the copper coins did lead to a problem that wasn't solved until the 1850's. The first coin struck by the United States was the half dime (originally spelled disme) on or prior to July 13, 1792, shortly before construction of the Mint facility had even started.
