Interesting fact
The Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Neuchâtel, which was minted during the reign of Frederick William III from 1800 to 1803, was made of a unique alloy called "Billon." Billon is a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals, and it was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. The use of Billon in the production of coins was a cost-effective way to create currency, as it was less expensive than using pure silver or gold. Despite its relatively low value, the Kreuzer coin was still widely used and accepted as a form of payment throughout the Principality of Neuchâtel and other parts of Europe.
