Interesting fact

The 1 Cash coin from Danish India, issued during the reign of King Frederik III in 1648, 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. Today, it is a rare and sought-after collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
