| Additional information |
Liberia issued a long series of commemorative dollars in the late 1990s and early 2000s under licensing arrangements that had little to do with the country's own monetary needs — these pieces were produced almost entirely for the collector export market, with the issuing authority functioning essentially as a mint-for-hire. The Union Pacific 119 was one of the two locomotives present at the Golden Spike ceremony at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10, 1869, when the First Transcontinental Railroad was completed. It arrived from the west representing the Union Pacific, meeting the Central Pacific's Jupiter.
The 119 was scrapped in 1903.
