It was mentioned in passing in this thread.
Liberia is a former colony of the United States. Though it formally declared independence in 1847, not long after it's founding, it remained (and still remains) strongly linked to the mother country.
The currency is one of the more tangible links; from it's founding until 1907, and again from 1935 to the 1991 civil war, the Liberian and US dollars circulated side by side, at par. The designs of the coins and notes are also highly influenced by US currency.
