FA0 Money Food for All - FAO Albums and Boards

FA0 MoneyFood for AllFA0 Money is the first international issue in 2,500 years of numismatic or monetary historywith a common th.eme: Food for All. Since the times of ancient Greece, countries haveplaced agricultural symbols on their coinage. But in our tirne the need to grow more food foran accelerating world population has assumed a new importance. In 1968, in response to thischallenge, the FA0 Money programme was launched, using national coinage in a unique educationalway to stress explicitly the need for increased food production.To date more than 75 countries have issued coins with the Food for All message, ar~dover 1,800 million coir~s are in circulation. As symbols of Central Banks and Ministries of Financethe coins already represent an important national cornmitrnent to agricultural development.In addition, they carry a small but insistent message which will pass from hand to handover the period of a generation as a constant reminder of the need to grow more food.In response to requests from collectors, from those active in social and economicwork, and from a wide circle of supporters in the United Nations family, FA0 has made up two. official collections of these Grow More Food coins: FA0 Money Albums, and FA0 MoneyPanels.FA0 Money AlbumsThe FA0 Money Albums are a corr~prehensive collection of every FA0 coin issued,housed in loose-leaf album format. The pages measure 8'12 by 7 inches (22 by 17 cm) andare custom-made to hold the coins, usually eight or nine per page. Sliding plastic windowsprotect the coins, while allowing both sides to be seen.Three albums have been issued to date, containing all issues from 1968 to 1974. Thefirst, in a red binder, was released page by page. The two pages of 1968 issues have long beensold out, and are only occasionally available. A very limited number of four-page albums remain,containing the issues from 1969-1970. These will be offered only while the supply lasts.A blue binder contains four pages of issues from 1971-1973, and a green binder fourpages of issues from 1974. These are offered complete. A grey binder with four pages of1975 issues is now in preparation, and will be issued in late 1975. This rlew album may beordered in advance.The initial Album edition was lirnited to 10.000 worldwide. Recent pages have been issuedin more limited quantity still, to allow more coins to be included in the Money Panelcollection. .' ,FA0 Money PanelsFAO Money Panels contain a rebresentative selection of FA0 coins desig?ied to providea lower-priced, attractive coin display for home or office. Each pancl measures 11 by8'12 inches (28 by 22 cn) arid is finished in a different colour.To date, four panels have been issued in the regular edition, in a quantity of 10,000worldwide. Two limited editions have also been released, Panel 1A in 1,500 copies and Panel2A in 3,000 copies. These contain scarcer, high-value coins, and are designed for collectorswho wish to combine the display concept with as complete a collection as possible.Two new panels are in preparation for release in late 1975, Panel 5 in the regular editionand Panel 3A irr a lirnited edition of 2,000 copies.

An official collection with lasting valueProceeds from album and panel sales are devoted to FAO's work, especially in helpingto channel credit to small farmers. Their purchase is thus an important contribution to FAO'sFood for All aim. But in addition they are designed as an attractive coin colle.ction whichgives value for money. Thus for example the valuation of the 34 coins in Panels 1 and 2, listedas $72.65 in the 5th (1972) edition of R.S. Yeoman's " Current Coins of the World ", had risento $90.20 by the 6th (1974) edition. FA0 expects the numismatic value of its collections tocontinue to appreciate, especially as the earlier coins become scarcer and harder to find.Above all, the albums and panels are intended as a living and growing collection, a durablerecord of mankind's response to the most important challenge of our time: that of providingfood for a hungry world.Service to collectorsFull technical details of the coins are sent to each Album or Panel owner, including size,weight, quantity of issue, design and inscription. In addition, collectors receive a periodical+ Newsletter with details of new coin issues and announcements of new album and panel collections.The FA0 Money Office also answers individual queries whenever possible.Collectors of FA0 Money also receive announcements of all new Ceres medals issuedby FAO. These portray distinguished contemporary women as Ceres, the Roman goddess ofagriculture, with the purpose of drawing attention to the important role of women in agriculturaldevelopment. Collector versions of each medal are struck in bronze, bronze-gilt, silverand gold. An illustrated booklet of the medals so far issued is available free on request.How to orderThis catalogue lists the FAO-inspired coins issued to date, illustrating the 14 Albumpages issued to date and providing brief details of each coin. The Money Panels are alsoillustrated, with full details for each coin to be found under the relevant Album page.Details of prices and availability are given in the enclosed price list.
