5 Dollars Zachary Taylor

Liberia has issued commemorative 5-dollar pieces bearing American presidential portraits since the 1990s, contracting with private minting houses — primarily the Pobjoy Mint and the BH Mayer Mint — to produce collector-market issues with no meaningful domestic circulation. Taylor himself died in office in July 1850, just 16 months into his presidency, likely from acute gastroenteritis contracted after consuming raw fruit and iced milk at a Fourth of July ceremony. A 1991 exhumation found no evidence of arsenic poisoning, despite persistent theories.
