In 2025, Liberia—a West African nation—produced a $1 silver commemorative coin featuring Trump's image crowned by a gold laurel leaf, with the motto "In Don We Trust."

Question

Accepted Answer

Liberia, a West African nation with historical ties to the U.S., has a pattern of producing commemorative coins featuring American political figures because its currency is often sold to collectors rather than used domestically. The country's mint (operated by foreign contractors) regularly features U.S. presidents on coins sold globally. The "In Don We Trust" motto plays on the U.S. motto "In God We Trust," signaling the coin's American market targeting. Liberia's Treasury Secretary Boimah Kamara has cultivated relationships with U.S. coin collectors and dealers who profit from selling these novelty items. The quick turnaround suggests coordination with U.S. political networks who wanted Trump imagery on official-looking currency before Treasury could finalize its own version.
