In 1969, coins were introduced in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20, with a 50 cent coin issued in 1975. The coins had the same sizes and compositions as the corresponding Australian Coins, with the 50 cents matching the cupro-nickel dodecagonal type introduced in Australia in 1969. In 1990, new compositions were introduced, with copper-plated steel used for the 1 and 2 cents, and nickel-plated steel for the 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents. A brass 1 dollar coin was introduced in 1995. The 1 and 2 cent coins are currently being phased out. 2009 saw the introduction of a new smaller coinage from five to fifty cents
