| Additional information |
The shift to copper clad steel for Brunei's 1 sen reflected a broader regional move away from bronze and brass small denominations during the late 1980s, driven largely by rising base metal costs. Brunei's monetary authority made the transition without a public announcement — the magnetic and non-magnetic versions circulated simultaneously long enough that most users never noticed the change.
