| Additional information |
Barbados transitioned its dollar coinage from cupronickel to nickel-plated steel in the mid-2000s as base metal costs rose sharply following the commodity price surge that preceded the 2008 financial crisis. The magnetic steel core made the new issues machine-sortable, a practical requirement as Caribbean transit and vending infrastructure modernized. KM#14.2a distinguishes these from the visually identical non-magnetic plated issues struck in the same window — the distinction matters only to a magnet and a catalog.
