Liberia's early 2000s "European Currency" series was a naked cash grab aimed squarely at the collector novelty market — large, silver-plated copper pieces issued with no connection to actual circulation, timed to coincide with the euro's physical introduction in January 2002. Luxembourg was among the smallest legacy currency issuers absorbed by the eurozone that year, retiring the Luxembourgish franc after decades of monetary union with Belgium that had made it largely symbolic anyway.
