Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the "Goodbye Irish Currency" coin is that it was issued by Liberia in 2002 as a commemoration of the transition from the Irish Pound to the Euro as the official currency of Ireland. This coin is unique because it features a design that showcases both the old Irish Pound currency and the new Euro currency, symbolizing the changeover. Additionally, the coin's silver plating and copper-nickel composition make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
