Liberia Coins

The official currency of Liberia is the Liberian dollar. This monetary system has an interesting history and has undergone several changes over time. Below, we will explore the current currency in circulation and some highlights of Liberia's numismatic history.

Current Currency in Circulation

The Liberian dollar is divided into 100 cents and is represented by the ISO code LRD. Banknotes currently circulate in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 20, 50, 100 and 500 Liberian dollars. Coins in use include values of 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents, as well as 1 dollar. The Central Bank of Liberia is responsible for the issuance and regulation of the national currency.

Monetary history and relevant facts

Prior to the introduction of the Liberian dollar, Liberia used the U.S. dollar as its official currency from its founding in 1847 until 1943. In that year, the Liberian dollar was introduced at par with the US dollar. An important milestone in Liberian numismatics was the issuance of commemorative coins in the 1970s, which included themes such as local wildlife and historical personalities. In addition, Liberia has been known for issuing collector coins intended primarily for the international numismatic market.
