Comments

Countless food stamp notes were printed in the 1970s through 1990s. Often tickets were used for whatever commodity was available, but rice was the foundation of the program, often giving these the slang term 'Rice Notes.'

Measurements are usually in 斤 ‘jin,’ or ‘city pound’ format. One jin = 0.5 kilograms. One kè = one gram. One gōng jin = one kilogram. 50 Kè = 1 Liang
