{{Short description|Currency of Liberia}}
The '''dollar''' ([[currency code]] ''LRD'') has been the [[currency]] of [[Liberia]] since [[1943]]. It was also the country's currency between [[1847]] and [[1907]]. It is normally abbreviated with the [[dollar sign]] $, or alternatively L$ to distinguish it from other [[dollar]]-denominated currencies. It is divided into 100 [[cent (currency)|cent]]s.

The '''dollar''' (currency code ''LRD'') has been the [[currency]] of [[Liberia]] since 1943. It was also the country's currency between 1847 and 1907. It is normally abbreviated with the [[dollar sign|sign]] $, or alternatively '''L$''' or '''LD$''' to distinguish it from other [[dollar]]-named currencies. It is divided into 100 [[cent (currency)|cent]]s.
 
==HistoryFirst use==
[[File:LIB-10A-Republic of Liberia-25 cents (1880).jpg|thumb|250px|Twenty-five cent note (1880), previously unknown as a denomination.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Cuhaj |first1=George S. |year=2010|title=Standard Catalog of World Paper Money General Issues (1368-1960)|page = 801|publisher=Krause Publications |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=BuNA39dnuHsC |edition=13|isbn=978-1-4402-1293-2}}</ref>]]
The first Liberian dollars were issued in 1847. These were [[Fixed exchange rate|pegged]] to the [[US dollar]] and circulated until 1907, when Liberia adopted the [[West African pound]], which was pegged to [[Pound sterling|sterling]]. United States currency replaced the West African pound in Liberia in 1943 and circulated alone until 1960, when Liberia began issuing its own dollar once more, though initially only in coins.

The first Liberian dollar was issued in 1847. It was [[Fixed exchange rate|pegged]] to the [[United States dollar|US dollar]] at par and circulated alongside the US dollar until 1907, when Liberia adopted the [[British West African pound]], which was pegged to [[Pound sterling|sterling]].
Liberia augmented United States' coin and paper money with its own coins of 1&cent;, 2&cent;, 5&cent;, 10&cent;, 25&cent;, 50&cent; and L$1. The flight of suitcase-loads of USD paper in the economic collapse following the April 12, 1980 [[Liberia#1980 coup under Doe|coup d'état]] created a currency shortage, which was only exacerbated when the government began minting $5 coins. Unfortunately the 7-sided coins were the same size and weight as the one-dollar coin; this similarity was frequently abused by traders.
 
===Coins===
In the late 1980s the coins were largely replaced with a newly-designed $5 bill modeled after the USD greenback. The design was modified during the 1990-2004 civil war to ostracize bills looted from the Central Bank of Liberia. This effectively created two currency zones -- the new bills were legal tender in government-held areas (primarily Monrovia), while the old bills were legal tender in non-government areas. Each was of course illegal in the other territory.
In 1847 and 1862, copper 1 and 2 cents coins were issued and were the only Liberian coins until 1896, when a full coinage consisting of 1, 2, 10, 25 and 50 cents coins were introduced. The last issues were made in 1906.
 
===Money notes===
With the election of the Charles Taylor government in 1997 a new series of bills were printed in denominations of $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, and are in current use.
The Treasury Department issued notes between 1857 and 1880 in denominations of 10 and 50 cents, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 dollars.
 
==Reintroduction==
As of [[October 20]], [[2005]] the exchange rate was USD 1.00 = LRD 49.00.
United States currency replaced the British West African pound in Liberia in 1935.<ref>{{cite web|title=Tables of Modern Monetary Systems|url=http://users.erols.com/kurrency/lr.htm|access-date=17 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060506230047/http://users.erols.com/kurrency/lr.htm|archive-date=6 May 2006|date=6 May 2006}}</ref> Starting in 1937, Liberia issued its own coins which circulated alongside US currency.
 
The flight of suitcase-loads of USD paper by [[Americo-Liberian people|Americo-Liberians]] following the April 12, 1980, [[1980 Liberian coup d'état|coup d'état]] created a currency shortage. This was remedied by minting of the Liberian {{val|p=$|5}} coins. The seven-sided coins were the same size and weight as the one-dollar coin; this prevented corrupt members of elite society leaving the country with Liberia's money.
 
In the late 1980s the coins were largely replaced with a newly designed {{val|p=$|5}} note modeled on the US greenback ("[[J. J. Roberts]]" notes). The design was modified during the 1990-2004 civil war to ostracize notes looted from the Central Bank of Liberia. This effectively created two currency zones—the new "Liberty" notes were legal tender in government-held areas (primarily [[Monrovia]]), while the old notes were legal tender in non-government areas. Each was not considered legal in the other territory. Following Charles Taylor's arrival in Monrovia in 1995, the J.J. Robert's bank notes were legally accepted in most parts of Monrovia for purchases. Banking and some majors institutions did not accept the J.J. Robert's bank note as legal tender during this period.
 
Following the election of the [[Charles Taylor (Liberia)|Charles Taylor]] government in 1997 a new series of banknotes dated 1999 was introduced on March 29, 2000.
 
===Coins===
[[File:Reverse of the 1 Dollar coin of Liberia (1968).jpg|thumb|1 Dollar coin of Liberia (1968)]]
In 1937, coins were issued in denominations of {{frac|1|2}}, 1 and 2 cents. These were augmented in 1960 with coins for 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents. A {{val|p=$|1}} coin was issued the following year. Five-dollar coins were issued in 1982 and 1985 (see above). According to the 2009 Standard Catalog of World Coins (Krause Publications, Iola, WI), numerous commemorative coins (featuring U.S. Presidents, dinosaurs, Chinese Lunar-Zodiac animals, etc.) in denominations ranging from 1 to 2500 Dollars have been issued beginning in the 1970s through the present.<ref>[https://en.numista.com/catalogue/liberia-1.html A complete list of the coins of Liberia] Numista (https://en.numista.com).

===Banknotes===
Five-dollar notes were introduced in 1989 which bore the portrait of [[J. J. Roberts]]. These were known as "J. J." notes. In 1991, similar notes were issued (see above) which replaced the portrait with Liberia's arms. These were known as "Liberty" notes.
 
On 29 March 2000, the Central Bank of Liberia introduced a new "unified" currency, which was exchanged at par for "J. J." notes and at a ratio of 1:2 for "Liberty" notes. The new banknotes each feature a portrait of a former president. These notes remain in current use, although they underwent a minor redesign in 2003, with new dates, signatures, and the CENTRAL BANK OF LIBERIA banner on the back.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Linzmayer | first1 = Owen | title = The Banknote Book | chapter = Liberia | publisher = www.BanknoteNews.com | year = 2012 | ___location = San Francisco, CA | url = http://www.banknotebook.com}}</ref>
 
On 27 July 2016, the Central Bank of Liberia announced new banknotes will be introduced with enhanced security features. All of the denominations are the same as previous issues, with the L$500 banknote being introduced as part of this series.<ref>{{cite web|title=Liberia reported to issue new banknote family "shortly" {{!}} Banknote News|url=http://www.banknotenews.com/files/05f83db17911e1cd3dbd6140a33e60c3-3979.php|website=www.banknotenews.com|access-date=17 July 2017}}</ref> On 6 October 2016, the Central Bank of Liberia introduced new banknotes, as announced.<ref>{{cite web|title=New Liberian Dollar Banknotes Released|url=https://cbl.org.lr/2press.php?news_id=85&related=7&pg=sp|website=cbl.org.lr|access-date=17 July 2017}}</ref>
 
On 17 November 2021, the Central Bank of Liberia announced a new series of banknotes, omitting the L$5 and L$10 banknotes which have been replaced by coins, along with an entirely new denomination, the L$1000.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CBL Engages Public On Launch of New L$100 Banknotes {{!}} Central Bank of Liberia |url=https://www.cbl.org.lr/media/press-releases/cbl-engages-public-launch-new-l100-banknotes |access-date=2022-09-27 |website=www.cbl.org.lr}}</ref>
