[QUOTE="swhuck, post: 1304979, member: 21044"]Stainless steel and cupronickel circulated alongside each other when I was there in '77 because the two greatly resemble each other. However, the brass pieces that were made in the 40s were gone; I never saw a single one in circulation. The main reason the coins were issued sporadically is low demand; the population of the country is less than 5 million even today. The token is also cool; there are apparently quite a number of such pieces, and they are quite collectible.[/QUOTE]
