| Additional information |
The Dominican Republic introduced bimetallic coinage for the 5 pesos denomination in the late 1990s as part of a broader currency modernization effort following years of monetary instability. Two versions entered circulation distinguishable only by magnetic response — a detail invisible to most users but significant for vending machine calibration and automated sorting. The non-magnetic variant, catalogued separately under Schön#149a, reflects a mid-production alloy adjustment rather than any deliberate policy change.
