| Additional information |
Paraguay's plastic coinage program, launched in the 2010s, was among the first in South America to adopt polymer planchets for circulating coins rather than banknotes — an unusual inversion of the technology's typical application. The Mercosur-themed issue situates itself within the bloc's broader push for symbolic regional integration, though Paraguay was suspended from Mercosur entirely in 2012 following the impeachment of President Fernando Lugo, a removal the other member states deemed a parliamentary coup.
