Maybe 1935 Peace dollar - last one made in US
Maybe Panamanian Balboa - same weight and purity of US dollar and piece of 8. cements the historical importance and influence of the piece of 8

I'm sure Australia was first with bimetallic coins too, but not sure which one it was.

The first bi-metallic coin to be widely used in the 20th century is the 500 Lira issued by the Italian government in 1982.

What about the 2002 Commonwealth Games trimetallic, is that the world's first?
