5 Dollars William H. Taft

Liberia's Central Bank issued a string of commemorative dollars around the turn of the millennium bearing American presidential portraits, targeting the collector market rather than domestic circulation. Most were struck by the Pobjoy Mint or similar private contractors on behalf of the Liberian government, which had a well-documented practice of licensing its coinage authority to generate foreign exchange revenue. Taft is an unusual choice for the series — he remains the only U.S. president to subsequently serve as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, a role he considered far more suited to his temperament than the presidency.
