Liberian Banknotes

Liberia was founded in 1847 by freed slaves who returned from the United States, and that explains almost everything you see on its banknotes: the single-star flag, the capital named Monrovia after President Monroe, and a currency called the dollar.

A country that used foreign dollars

For decades, Liberia used the U.S. dollar directly as legal tender, without issuing its own banknotes. It was only from 1989 onwards that it began printing its own paper currency again, which leaves a long gap in its notaphily and makes earlier issues more sought after.

What is printed on them

Portraits of the founding presidents, harbor scenes of Monrovia, rubber and iron ore—the two historical exports—and rainforest wildlife.
