Interesting fact

The 1997 Liberian $5 Year of the Dog coin is a unique collector's item because it features a rare design error. The coin was minted with a misprinted date, showing the year "1997" instead of "1998," which was the actual year of the Dog in the Chinese lunar calendar. This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors, increasing its value and rarity.
