The situation's actually even better. Due to inflation in the 1980s, Poland's currency was revalued, so there's a 1990 coin series (PLZ) and a 1995 coin series (PLN), but the 1995 coins were minted starting in 1990 and held for the 1995 currency revaluation. The PLZ coins are all cupronickel. The PLN coins are either manganese brass or cupronickel. If a vault with the new coins was found, the smaller denomination coins could be salvaged for brass, while the larger denomination cupronickel coins could be used as ration chits. Modern pre-1990 coins were made of aluminum.
