The Dominican Republic's switch to brass-plated steel for the 1 Peso reflected a broader Latin American trend in the 2000s of replacing solid alloy coins with cheaper steel-core alternatives as metal commodity prices spiked globally. The magnetic property is the functional tell — and the catalog distinction from the earlier KM#80 bronze-aluminum issue.
