The 20-, 50-, and 100-dollar denominations (CBL B8-B10, respectively) have previously been confirmed dated 2011, but recently new varieties with the same date have been confirmed.
On the 20-dollar note, pearlescent TWENTY DOLLARS added on watermark area on front; pearlescent floral design added around border on front.
On the 50-dollar note, pearlescent FIFTY DOLLARS added on watermark area on front; pearlescent wave design added around border on front; embossed octagon with palm tree added above signature at right.

To clarify, these denominations are now confirmed dated 2011, but in two different varieties: with and without pearlescent features.

The Challenge: Identify objects in Liberia bank seal
Today’s challenge is to identify the crossed objects which appear in the seal of the Central Bank of Liberia (and previously the National Bank of Liberia).
If you can precisely identify the name of these objects—or have a lead which you think might be useful—please post a comment, preferably including a URL which links to evidence supporting your identification.
This bank seal appears on the back of all of Liberia’s notes since 1989:
IDENTIFIED: Kissi money.
