Interesting fact
The Liberian 20 Dollar coin commemorating the Surrender at Appomattox Courthouse during the American Civil War features an error in its design. The coin incorrectly depicts the surrender taking place at the Appomattox Court House, when in fact, the actual surrender took place at the McLean House, which was located near the courthouse. This error has made the coin a unique and sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
