Samoa's 2011 coinage reform replaced the old copper-nickel series with nickel-plated steel, a cost-driven decision common among Pacific island nations managing tight seigniorage margins on low-denomination circulation coinage. The Central Bank made the switch as global nickel prices remained volatile following the commodity spike of the late 2000s.
