| Additional information |
The Centrale Bank van Suriname introduced nickel-plated steel coinage as part of a broader effort to reduce production costs following years of severe currency instability — Suriname's dollar had lost substantial value through the late 2010s, making the metal content of older compositions increasingly awkward against face value. The 2021 date places this issue squarely in a period of renewed monetary pressure, as the country underwent an IMF-supported restructuring program beginning that same year amid a sovereign debt crisis.
