Interesting fact

The 1 Cash coin from Danish India, issued during the reign of Christian V (1692-1697), was made of copper and weighed 1 gram. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin was an important part of the Danish colonial empire's economy, as it was used to facilitate trade and commerce in the region.
