Interesting fact
The 2000 Liberian $5 coin featuring William H. Taft is interesting because it was issued as part of a series commemorating the 200th anniversary of the White House, which was designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban. The coin's design features a portrait of Taft, who was the 27th President of the United States and served from 1909 to 1913. Taft was known for his role in the construction of the Panama Canal and his efforts to reduce the power of the presidency. The coin's obverse side features the Liberian coat of arms and the inscription "Liberia 2000."
