| Additional information |
Liberia's Central Bank produced a long series of commemorative copper-nickel dollars in the early 2000s bearing historical figures with no connection to Liberia whatsoever — Joan of Arc among them. These were struck primarily for the collector novelty market, not domestic circulation, and were sold through international distributors rather than through Liberian banking channels.
Joan was burned at Rouen in 1431, two years after the siege of Orléans. Her beatification came in 1909; canonization in 1920.
