Description

The listing, 1993 Little China Note! 0.75 has ended.

Little China Note These are very small notes...China began issuing commodity ration coupons (known as liang piao) in the 1950s, with specific coupons issued for foodstuffs (mostly rice), fuel, and flour. Without them you were not permitted to purchase the goods. The system, which was only finally abolished in 1995, ensured that under the collective system, everyone got their fair share. The food coupons, denoting the weight (not currency) of the produce is measured in jin (about 0.5 kilo). The average ration was 15 kilograms for a man and 13 kilograms for a woman each month, though it varied somewhat with age and location. These coupons were given per person, no matter how poor or rich the person.
