China had severe shortages of basic necessities between 1954 and 1992.  To ensure everyone had access to them (not just the wealthy) the government distributed ration coupons for a wide variety of items.  This is a 1975 ration coupon from the Jilin province good for 4 liang (slightly less than a pound) of rice.

There is an active collector's market in China for coupons like these but not much interest outside of China.  Similar coupons sell for $.50-$2.25.
