Interesting fact

The 1 Kasu coin from the Kingdom of Mysore (Indian states) made of Copper weighing 3.1 g is interesting because it was used as a mode of exchange during a time when bartering was still a common practice in India. This coin was introduced during the reign of King Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar and was used for buying goods and services, and it's still a valuable collector's item today.
