5 Dollars D-Day

Liberia's commemorative coinage of the late 1990s and early 2000s was issued almost entirely for the collector export market, with essentially none of these pieces entering domestic circulation. The country was in the grip of the First Liberian Civil War's aftermath and a collapsing economy — a $5 copper-nickel commemorative had no practical monetary function there.

The D-Day series was one of dozens of themed issues produced under licensing arrangements with foreign minting agents during this period, a common practice among small nations monetizing their issuing authority.
