| Additional information |
Bahrain's shift to brass for the 10 fils under Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa coincided with his formal assumption of the title of King in 2002, when the country transitioned from emirate to kingdom. The non-magnetic designation distinguishes this type from a later reformulation of the alloy, a change driven by vending and automated payment infrastructure requirements rather than any monetary policy consideration.
