      Arthur Newmark has been collecting the FAO Albums and Boards for 15 years, but has not found a complete reference for this series. This list represents his attempt to gather all he has found about what Boards, Albums, Medals and other collections have been issued by the FAO. He produced about a third of this list by cataloguing the albums and boards in his own collection and adding in whatever additional information has been contributed by other collectors.

      The FAO Boards were issued as an alternate format to the Albums. The basic collection of Boards contained fewer coins than were contained in the Albums. Boards 1A, 1B, 2A, 3A, and 4A were issued to permit collectors who chose the Board format to obtain the same pieces contained in the Albums.

    If you are aware of any official FAO collections not listed here, or can fill in the the contents of any of these collections, please contact me.

    Undoubtedly, the hand transcription leaves room for ERRORS. Please contact me if you find errors on this page.

FAO MONEY 1B

.
Presumably the most exclusive of the FAO Money Pages.

When the FAO released the Panel format, around Dec. 1973, it was conceived of as way to permit display of a subset of the collection contained in the books. See Collector notes 8, 9 and 11.
Some time in 1974, the MMP began ofering the "optional" panels to permit collectors to have a complete collection in the alternate format. The first "optional" panel was 2A, followed in November 1974 by Panel 1A. Panel 3A was announced in July 1975, alongside "regular" panel 5.
Panels 4A and 6 were announced in January 1976.

  By the time Panel 1B was devised in May 1977, the MMP had exhausted its supply of the Vatican and Malta coins as well as one of the India pieces. Panel 1B was therefore released with 11 of the 13 coins missing. Presumably an "original" Panel 1B will have only 2 coins. A "complete" Panel 1B, as illustrated here, will have been filled in some time after issue.
See Collector note 21.
.
  Collating the above information in the collectors notes reveals the following (approximate) Order of issue:
    1,    2,    3,   
2A,    4,    1A,   5,    3A,     6,    4A,    7,    8,    1B,    9,    10,    11,    12.

  Board 3     TAN      19 coins  . . Planned issue: 13,000 Copies

     I have examined 2 versions of Board 3 (tan) with respect to the labeling of the space for the Korea 50 Won.

  Version one is labled "1972", and has square edges.
 
Version two is labled "1973", and has rounded edges.

   There appears to be no relation between the date on the board and the date on the coin. Presumably, the FAO MMP released the boards with
the 1972 date and had new boards printed in response to reports of 1973 dated coins appearing in the 1972 slots.

     Three out of five 50 Won coins I examined in FAO holders were mislabled.
