Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Alexey Mikhailovich (1645-1650) and made of silver, was actually used as a means of exchange in the Russian Empire for over 200 years, until the early 19th century. That's a remarkable longevity for a coin, especially considering the turbulent times that Russia went through during that period.
