General information for the 1999 Issues
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. Curiously, the 50-dollar note depicts Samuel Doe, who staged a military coup détat on 12 April 1980, killing then-president William Tolbert, Jr., who is depicted on the 100-dollar note. Doe was himself tortured and killed in 1990 by forces fighting alongside Charles Taylor.
