Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Railroad "Golden Spike" 20 Dollar coin from Liberia is that it features an error in its design. The coin was intended to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in the United States, however, the design of the coin accidentally depicts a train heading in the wrong direction, symbolizing the opposite route of the original railroad. This error has made the coin a unique and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
