Interesting fact
The 2 Cents coin from Liberia, issued between 1941 and 1978, has an interesting feature. It was designed with a unique shape, known as a "scalloped" or "dished" shape, which sets it apart from other coins. The coin's edges are not circular, but instead have a series of rounded lobes, giving it a distinctive appearance. This design was chosen to make the coin easily identifiable and harder to counterfeit.
