<p>[QUOTE="Ardatirion, post: 7708649, member: 9204"]My bet would be that its related to events in Liberia. After the 1980 coup, the government was completely upended. You see circulation issues drop completely off, especially since the 1983 and 1984 issues apparently were never broadly released. (I wonder if the same is true for the 1987 10 cent?) You also start to see the commemoratives pick up a bit and begin to transition from the more national themed commemoratives (Tolbert's inaugural issues, Inter-Continental Hotel, OAU etc) to international, but still nationally relevant themes. And then when the civil war breaks out in 1989, the NCLTs really take off and are clearly designed solely for foreign sale and funding whoever is in control of Monrovia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
