I visited Monrovia, Liberia in March of 2025 representing two nonprofit organizations from the United States. It was my first visit to the country and a wonderful experience. I can’t say enough about how friendly and welcoming the people there were.
I exchanged currency a couple of times, but most people and places seemed happy to receive USD as well as their home currency. It took a little getting used to find out what felt right for tipping. The South African who sat next to me on the plane from the Cape Town suburbs gave me very bad advice. I severely under-tipped at first, but quickly learned what was more appropriate.
