Though this doesn't mean that copper coins were ever particularly common (the Romans, for example, mostly didn't produce bronze coins). Also, given that GURPS tries to use normalized prices, a coin-grade silver coin the size of a US dime would have been worth about $1 in 2004 (and a similar sized gold coin about $50), so it's perfectly plausible to either not have bronze coins at all, or only have them in very low denominations.
