| Additional information |
Liberia's early 2000s "European Currency" dollar series was a prolific novelty program targeting collector markets rather than any circulation need — the republic issued dozens of these oversized silver pieces commemorating the euro changeover across EU member states. Greece's inclusion marks the January 2002 transition, when the drachma was retired after roughly 2,700 years of continuous use, one of the longest-lived currency names in monetary history.
The drachma's final official exchange rate was fixed at 340.75 to one euro.
