To buy rationed goods, you had to have both - the usual cash to pay for the purchase, and the ration stamp entitling you to make the purchase. Purchasing rationed goods without a stamp amounted to a crime, for both buyer and seller, and was a "black market" transaction. If you mean postage stamps, no, you still needed postage stamps. Men overseas in the US Military were exempt from postage, and could write "free" where the stamp would ordinarily go on an envelope. People writing letters from the US to men in the service overseas were encouraged to use "V Mail". You had to buy special stationary, a sort of a form, with the place for the address in the middle of the top of the page. You put this in an envelope and mailed it, and the Post Office opened your V Mail, microfilmed your letter and then destroyed the original, then sent the microfilm overseas, where special military units printed a copy of the letter big enough to read and sent that on to the recipient. This saved scarce and valuable space on ships heading to Europe, which then did not have to be used for sacks of mail.
