Money in Nos : trudovaya kopeyka

[FRISON Philippe]

Following the discussion on banknote colours, what about its modest counterpart, the kopek? (see its history on http://universitates.kharkov.ua/arhiv/2005_1/zajcev/zajcev.html )

According to Vladimir Dal', "Трудовая копейка до веку живет. (Trudovaya kopeyka do veku zhivyot). But what is precisely the meaning of 'trudovaya kopeyka' ?

Thank you in advance for any clue.
