Interesting fact
The 1 Öre Silvermynt - Gustav III 1778 coin from Sweden was made of copper, but it was designed to look like a silver coin. This was done by applying a thin layer of silver to the copper surface using a process called "silver-plating." This technique was used to make the coin look more like a valuable silver coin, while still being made of a less expensive metal. This way, the coin could still be used for circulation and commerce, while also having the appearance of a higher-value coin.
