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.
The oldest metal object found in the Middle East consists of copper (it was a tiny awl dating back as far as 5100 B.C.). The U.S. penny was originally made of pure copper (nowadays, it is 97.5 percent zinc with a thin copper skin). Copper ranks as third-most-consumed industrial metal in the world, after iron and aluminum, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. About three-quarters of that copper goes to make electrical wires, telecommunication cables and electronics.
