The switch to nickel-clad steel for this issue reflected a broader regional pattern of the late 1980s, when rising base metal costs forced Caribbean and Latin American central banks to abandon more expensive alloy compositions. The Dominican Republic had been through a severe currency crisis by 1990, with inflation exceeding 100% annually and the peso losing much of its exchange value — circumstances that made economizing on coinage metal a practical necessity rather than a choice.
