    Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) will issue a new set of Rs 1 and 5 coins changing the metal/alloy from brass plated steel (gold color) to stainless steel (silver color).

    The edge lettering of the Rupees 5 coin has been removed in the new stainless steel coin while all other specifications including dimensions and designs of the above said coins remain same as of Rupee 1 and 5 coins that have been issued since 2005.


    The said new coins will be legal tender in Sri Lanka for payments and will be a liability of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka while in circulation, the CB said.
