When sorting, I have come across two (both dated 2000) of these 5 Shilling "Food Security" coins from Somalia. They also say FAO. Anyone else finding these? And any other information about these coins?
Check out the FAO here You must be logged in to see this link. or here You must be logged in to see this link. Basically, countries create coins with the FAO reverse, and it raises awareness for the cause of ending world hunger. They've been doing that for decades. I have no idea if it is actually accomplishing the goal. There are several other organizations which have that same goal... and millions of people are still dying of starvation (and other totally curable problems) throughout the world. ///end of soapbox///
