1 Dollar Daniel Boone

Liberia's 1990s commemorative dollar program was among the most prolific — and commercially cynical — of any small nation during that decade, flooding the market with copper-nickel pieces sold primarily to collectors outside Liberia who would never spend them. KM#263 is one of dozens issued in rapid succession, produced under contract by foreign mints and distributed through coin dealers rather than through any domestic banking channel.

Boone himself died in 1820 in Missouri, having lived long enough to see Kentucky — the wilderness he famously helped open — become a settled state of 400,000 people.
