| Additional information |
Liberia's Olympic commemorative program of the late 1990s and early 2000s was explicitly a revenue operation — the country had no athletes competing in most of the sports depicted, and the coins were never intended for domestic circulation. Struck under licensing arrangements with foreign minting houses and sold directly into the collector market, they generated hard currency during a period when Liberia's economy was devastated by civil war.
The Sydney 2000 series ran to dozens of types across multiple issuers worldwide, Liberia among the most prolific.
