One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Kasu (Anonymous Issue) ND (1701) from Tinnevelly (Indian states) made of Copper weighing 3 g is that it was used as a form of currency in the Indian state of Tinnevelly during the 18th century. Despite being made of copper, which is a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin was still considered valuable and was widely used in trade and commerce. This highlights the importance of currency in facilitating economic transactions and how even seemingly ordinary objects can hold significant value in different contexts.
