Surprised

Cataloging this coin of Paraguay

I was really surprised to see that tobacco is considered food for the world.
The drawing is not very clear but which are the sources of the information that it is a tobacco plant?
It may be also a coffee plant.
Unfortunately, sometimes some wrong info spread all around the world

Coffee is also not really a food with no usable calories ... maybe some kind of legume?
Edit : it seems to be soya

I would go with soy. Coffee isnt podded, it's a berry, and definately not tobacco.

Thanks Ole! Sonja or soy. That's what it looked like!

The 5 Guaraní has an image of a cotton plant, and also says 'food for the world'.

Perhaps if you drink something with it.

As a matter of fact, the only relation between eating and cotton I found on the Internet was it being a dangerous eating disorder.

Hi,

I think it's more in the sense:
If you produce cotton, indirectly you'll be able to eat for the money the cotton is sold for?
