| Additional information |
The Falkland Islands issued a series of polymer "coins" — legal tender by proclamation — partly as a collector novelty and partly to test public reception of non-metal coinage in a remote territory where supply logistics make conventional minting expensive. The albatross denomination belongs to a wildlife-themed subset of this program. Polymer notes have long precedent in the region; polymer coins remain a genuine oddity in circulation law.
