Interesting fact
The 1 Dreier coin from the State of Brandenburg-Prussia, minted in 1624 during the reign of George William, was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a copper-nickel alloy. This was a significant innovation in coinage at the time, as most coins were made of precious metals like gold and silver. The use of a copper-nickel alloy made the coin more durable and resistant to wear and tear, and it paved the way for the use of base metals in coinage in the future.
