| Additional information |
Burma's 1966 aluminium coinage was introduced following the Revolutionary Council's nationalization of the banking sector after Ne Win's 1962 coup, which replaced the existing monetary infrastructure with the People's Bank as the sole issuing authority. The shift to aluminium from earlier cupro-nickel reflected both ideological reorientation and a practical response to metal conservation under the isolationist economic policies of the Burmese Way to Socialism.
