Interesting fact

The Frederick Ulrich (Kipper) 1621 3 Flitter coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (German States) was made of copper, but it was also one of the first coins to use a machine-struck process, which was a new technology at the time. This made it easier and faster to produce coins, and it also allowed for greater consistency in the design and quality of the coins. This innovation helped to pave the way for the mass production of coins in the future.
