"The F.A.O. coin program was an ambitious international coin program developed by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization.

Its purpose was to create global awareness of the work of the F.A.O. and galvanize people to work towards eliminating food insecurity in the developing world. Seignorage and profits from the sale of the coins helped fund these important programs."
