Interesting fact
The 3 Flitter coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, minted in 1621 during the reign of Frederick Ulrich (also known as Kipper), was made of copper, but it was also one of the first coins in Europe to use a machine-struck process, which made it more uniform and efficient than traditional hand-struck coins. This innovation in coin production helped to pave the way for the widespread use of machine-struck coins in the centuries that followed.
