10 Dollars Millennium

Liberia's millennium coin program was a frankly commercial venture — the Central Bank licensed a wave of commemorative issues in the late 1990s and early 2000s aimed squarely at the novelty collector market, not domestic circulation. Most were struck by private mints in Europe and distributed through international coin dealers rather than through any Liberian banking infrastructure.

KM#622 is one of dozens of types from this period. Liberia itself was in the grip of post-civil-war instability in 2000, with the economy effectively dollarized and no meaningful domestic demand for commemorative coinage.
