Honduras switched to brass-plated steel for this denomination around 2010 largely as a cost-cutting measure, following a pattern adopted across Central America as copper and zinc prices spiked on global commodity markets in the late 2000s. The magnetic core made the coins sortable by machine — a practical consideration for a country expanding its automated banking infrastructure at the time.
