5 Dollars - Charles III Liberty Bell

The Liberty Bell's famous crack has generated more mythology than metallurgical fact. The bell did not crack dramatically on a historic occasion — it developed a hairline fracture sometime in the late 18th or early 19th century, was recast twice by Philadelphia foundrymen Pass and Stow in 1753, and then cracked irreparably around 1846 while tolling for George Washington's birthday. The Solomon Islands connection is purely jurisdictional: the Central Bank issues these collector pieces under licensing arrangements that allow bullion program coins to carry legal tender status without any pretense of domestic circulation.
