ShookRemark: Patz's Food Market was established in Hebron, Porter County, Indiana, in 1964 and ceased business in November 2017.Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government issued coupons to families and individuals whose income level was below a certain threshold. The purpose of the coupons was to assist in the purchase of food. Today, SNAP cards are issued by the federal government for the same purpose.During the 1970s, the lowest denomination of federally issued "food stamps" was one dollar and federal law prohibited the exchange of food stamps for money. Hence, to solve the issue of providing change to customers, companies issued credit tokens in lieu of money. These tokens could then be used to purchase "eligible food" items.The federal law changed in January 1979 and retailers were allowed to provide change to customers as long as the coins amounted to less than one dollar. This new law essentially eliminated the use of food stamp credit tokens in the United States.⦿ Wagaman No. H-4200a; rarity modernSource:Wagaman, Lloyd E. 1981. Indiana Trade Tokens.
