Interesting fact

The Rhinoceros coin from Liberia, released in 1997, features an image of a rhinoceros on its obverse side, while the reverse side features the Liberian coat of arms. This coin is unique because it was produced in a non-circulating format, meaning it was not intended for everyday use as legal tender. Instead, it was minted specifically for collectors and coin enthusiasts. Additionally, the coin's composition of copper-nickel gives it a distinctive color and durability, making it a standout among other coins.
