Copper is one of the oldest metals known to humans. It has been mined and used for thousands of years, dating back to the Stone Age. Copper was originally used to make tools and weapons, but it was soon discovered that it could also be used to make jewelry, ornaments, and other decorative objects.
 
Copper was also used to make coins and currency. In ancient Rome, for example, copper coins were known as "aes" and were the most common type of currency in circulation.
