The shift to copper-plated zinc for this issue mirrored a broader cost-cutting move made by the United States Mint in 1982, which the Bahamas — like several smaller nations whose coinage was produced by foreign mints — eventually followed as raw copper prices made pure copper flans economically untenable. The Royal Canadian Mint and the Royal Mint in Llantrisant both handled Bahamian coinage during this period depending on contract, meaning the striking facility for any given year in this range may differ without obvious indication on the coin itself.
