Interesting fact
The 1997 Liberia 1 Dollar (Indian Independence) non-circulating coin is made of copper-nickel, which is a common alloy used in coinage due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. However, what makes this coin stand out is its unique weight of 28.28 grams, which is slightly heavier than a standard 1 oz coin. This unusual weight may have been chosen to symbolize the significance of the Indian Independence anniversary that the coin commemorates.
