5 Dollars Olympic games

Liberia's Olympic commemorative program of the early 2000s was among the most prolific — and commercially cynical — in modern numismatic history. The Central Bank licensed its name to private distributors who flooded the market with copper-nickel issues bearing face values that bore no relationship to any circulating monetary reality in Liberia. KM# 520.1 is one of dozens of nearly identical issues from this period, differentiated by minor design variants cataloged under the .1, .2, and .3 suffixes.
