| Additional information |
Albania's shift to copper-plated steel for this denomination was a cost-cutting measure adopted across several Eastern European and Balkan states in the 2000s as zinc and nickel prices spiked on global commodity markets. The magnetic property is the giveaway — earlier aluminium issues passed through vending infrastructure with different calibration entirely, requiring quiet coordination between the Bank of Albania and domestic machine operators during the transition years.
