Copper Coin Collection, a carefully curated assortment of coins made from one of the oldest metals known to humanity. Copper has been used in coinage for thousands of years, prized for its distinctive reddish hue, malleability, and antimicrobial properties. Our collection features a wide range of copper coins from different periods and regions, each with its unique story and historical significance. Whether you're an experienced numismatist or a history enthusiast, our Copper Coin Collection offers a fascinating journey through the evolution of money.

Historical Facts:

When: The use of copper in coinage dates back to ancient civilizations, with some of the earliest known copper coins minted around 600 BCE in Lydia (modern-day Turkey).
Why: Copper is abundant, easy to work with, and possesses a distinctive color that makes it easily recognizable. Its antimicrobial properties also make it a practical choice for coins, as it reduces the spread of germs.
Interesting Facts:
- Ancient Times: The Romans extensively used copper in their coinage, with coins such as the As, Dupondius, and Sestertius made primarily from copper or bronze (an alloy of copper and tin).
- Medieval Period: During the medieval era, copper coins were widespread in Europe and Asia. For instance, the Chinese used copper to mint cash coins with square holes in the center for stringing together.
- Modern Era: In the United States, the famous Lincoln cent has been predominantly made of copper since its introduction in 1909. Initially composed of 95% copper, the composition was changed to a copper-plated zinc core in 1982 due to rising copper prices. Similarly, the British penny and two-pence coins were traditionally made from bronze, a copper alloy, until the switch to copper-plated steel in 1992.

Copper coins often bear the marks of history, showing wear and patina that tell the story of their circulation. This collection offers a tangible connection to the past, making it a valuable addition to any numismatic enthusiast's trove.
