| Additional information |
Tajikistan's post-Soviet coinage system wasn't introduced until 2001, following the catastrophic inflation that rendered the transitional Tajik ruble effectively worthless after years of civil war. The magnetic brass-plated steel variant replaced an earlier non-magnetic composition — a quiet cost-cutting measure common to small economies managing tight mint contracts, typically farmed out to facilities in Russia or Kazakhstan.
