Liberia's early 2000s collector series exploited the upcoming 2006 FIFA World Cup by issuing dozens of small-format silver pieces tied to host stadiums — years before the tournament began. The Hannover AWD Arena, opened in 1954 and substantially rebuilt in advance of the competition, was among the venues included. These pieces were produced in bulk for the novelty market, not for circulation, and were sold internationally through coin distributors rather than through any Liberian monetary channel.
