1982 A series with huge error printing seen very dramatically in all 4 notes. All 4 have full perforation tabs on the left side of the stamp. The error is off centered, with the top border hanging left to right. Grade or frame worthy, a holy grail piece for a collection. Very crisp all original specimens. I’m guessing all came from the same booklet due to the identical serial numbers. Department of Agriculture Food Coupons were issued to participants of the Food Stamp Program. The program was constantly changing. These were the last coupons in use before the Food Stamp Program was replaced by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program which exclusivly uses electronic benefit cards. The last coupons printed were dated 2000, however they were printed until 2002 and issued until 2004. The Farm Bill of 2008 directed that all paper coupons be demonetized on July 17th 2009. When an individual was granted Food Coupons, a booklet valued at a set amount was issued. The only way to legally possess Food Coupons was to be issued by the USDA. Most people who legitimately needed them were approved and could use them for the printed value to help with their monthly food expenses. Once the program participant spent the coupon the grocers were instructed to stamp the coupon. Making the stamps invalid for use additional use, then grocers would deposit the coupons into a participating bank. Because most people on the program depended on the the supplemental income, almost all of the coupons printed were utilized as inte. Nded, ending with their destruction at the USDA. Any coupons are still in existence are highly collectable because of this with only a fraction originally printed still. Any coupon still in existence has some value, some more than others. Similar to currency, the quality of the note, the existence of the perforated tab, and the serial number as well as the origin of the note all contribute to the value. Today they are completely demonetized and legal to own and resale on the collectors market. Currency collectors and collectors alike look for 1 of 1 notes with errors, unique serial numbers, early serial numbers, uncirculated gem quality notes and more.
