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.
Copper got its name from the word âCuprumâ, which is the Latin name of Cyprus, the largest site of copper mining during the time of Roman Empire. The symbol Cu is also derived from there. Until 1982, US penny was made from 95% copper and 5% zinc.
