Liberia has issued commemorative dollars under its own authority since the 1970s, frequently targeting the collector market with American-themed subjects — a practice that reflects the country's historical ties to the United States, founded in 1847 by formerly enslaved Americans repatriated under the American Colonization Society. These issues circulate almost exclusively in hobby channels rather than domestically.
