A food stamp coupon book is a booklet of paper coupons that are used to purchase food at authorized grocery stores. The coupons are issued by the government to low-income individuals and families to help them afford to buy food.
Food stamp coupon books were first introduced in the United States in 1964. The program was originally called the Food Stamp Act of 1964. The program has been renamed several times over the years, and is now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
