Copper


 * Copper coins are the smallest denomination of money.

Copper is the most common type of metal. Copper veins sometimes produce gems (usually Malachite or Tigerseye) and more frequently Rough Stone. Copper ores are smelted into copper bars at the forge. In turn, one copper bar can be smelted with one tin bar to make two bronze bars.
