Afghanistan–Pakistan border skirmishes
A series of occasional armed skirmishes and firefights have occurred along the Afghanistan–Pakistan border between the Afghan Armed Forces and the Pakistan Armed Forces since 1949. The latest round of hostilities between the two countries began in April 2007.

Militants belonging to internationally designated terrorist groups Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Jamaat-ul-Ahrar also use Afghanistan's territory to target Pakistani security personnel deployed along the border. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, spokesperson for the Pakistan Armed Forces, said that the presence of terrorists belonging to the TTP on Afghan soil is the reason for sporadic shelling of, and airstrikes on, Afghanistan's territory by the Pakistan Armed Forces.

The organization is internationally designated a terrorist group. The JuA came to prominence after it claimed responsibility for the 2014 Wagah border suicide attack.

Freedom Tower Silver Dollar
The Freedom Tower Silver Dollar is a "one dollar" coin minted under license of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) in 2004, although the CNMI does not have legal authority to issue or authorize currency. Despite vague statements in advertisements, it is not issued by the United States Mint and is not considered legal tender, nor is it considered non-circulating legal tender. The CNMI receives royalty fees from proceeds of the sale of the coin. The coin is actually minted by SoftSky, a Wyoming commemorative coin maker.

Non-circulating legal tender
Non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) refers to coins that are theoretically legal tender and could circulate but do not because their issue price, and/or their melt value at the time of issue is significantly above the arbitrary legal tender value placed thereon.  They are sold to collectors and investors with no intention that they be used as money.  Notable examples would include commemoratives, proofs, bullion coins, presentation sets, patterns and the like.

Some coins intended as NCLT have historically circulated, such as the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition half dollar, which was a commemorative, and the 1856 Flying Eagle cent, which was a pattern.

Private issues are not NCLT because they are not legal tender and are properly viewed as medals.
