| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank replaced its older nickel-brass dollar coinage with this steel-plated nickel composition in 2002, a cost-driven shift adopted across multiple denominations simultaneously. The ECCB serves eight island territories — Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines — all sharing a single currency pegged to the US dollar at 2.70 EC to 1 USD, a rate held without adjustment since 1976.
