Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the James Monroe 5 Dollar coin from Liberia is that it features an error in the design. The coin was intended to have a portrait of James Monroe, the fifth President of the United States, but instead, it features a portrait of John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States. This error was caused by a mistake in the die-making process and was not discovered until after the coins had been produced and distributed. As a result, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
