Interesting fact

The Non-circulating coin 10 Dollars (First Moon Landing) 2000 from Liberia made of Copper-nickel weighing 20g features an error in its design. The coin was intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first moon landing, but the design mistakenly features an image of the Apollo 11 astronauts standing on the moon with the American flag, when in fact they planted the flag on the moon's surface during their mission. This error has made the coin a unique and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
