| Additional information |
Fiji's dollar coinage shifted to brass-plated steel in this period as a direct response to rising global nickel prices, which had made the earlier nickel-brass composition economically unviable to produce. The change was largely invisible to the public but represented a quiet admission that the face value of the coin had begun to approach its raw material cost.
