Historical Perspective (Monuments & lessons from history)
The fort was constructed by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, a military engineer to Louis XIV, after the division of Catalonia between France and Spain by the Treaty of the Pyrenees. Construction began in 1681, at the same time as that of the Mont-Louis Citadel, which is further upstream in the Têt valley. The fort is connected to the city of Villefranche by an underground staircase composed of 734 steps. The fort dominates the village at a height of about 150 meters. The fort had at one time served as a prison for Louis XIV's poisoners.

Currency & why
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 $, or alternatively L$ or LD$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. It is divided into 100 cents.
Coin & why
The 10 cent coin is a current circulation piece of the Republic of Liberia that was issued in two main types from 1896 to 1987. In addition, some patterns were made before then, in 1847 and 1864. The first general issue 10 cent piece of Liberia was introduced in 1896, as part of the first Liberian dollar, and subsequently produced again in 1906. However, shortly after Liberia adopted the
British West African pound in 1907, this first coin lost its legal tender face value of $0.10 and was demonetized. In 1960 the second type was introduced after the reintroduction of the dollar. Its first subtype was issued from 1960 to 1961, its second from 1966 to 1987, and its third, which was not intended for circulation, in 1979 alone. The coins of the second type currently hold the status of legal tender and are used for transactions in Liberia.
