| Additional information |
Jamaica replaced its cupro-nickel 25-cent coinage with nickel-plated steel during this period as part of a broader cost-cutting response to chronic currency depreciation — the Jamaican dollar had lost the vast majority of its purchasing power through the 1980s, making the metal value of higher-quality alloy coins an increasing concern for the central bank.
