During the Great Depression, food stamps, or similar assistance programs, were not in place as we know them today. Instead, the U.S. government initiated various relief programs to provide food and aid to struggling families. While these programs aimed to alleviate hunger, the value of any coupons or stamps issued was often limited to specific goods and did not hold monetary value outside of that context. Therefore, they were essential for survival but not "worth" money in a traditional sense.
The great depression made money worth nothing it was difficult for families to buy food. Money was just garbage the stock levels droped in a very dramatic way
The answer to this unknown as there was no paper money printed in 1937. During the Great Depression the United States did not print much paper money because it would not have been worth much with the economy struggling.

I think you are referring to the rations stamps issued during World War 2. I would have to have a better description. They are worth about $5 a book, not much, more a couriosity for those that lived during that era.
Not necessarily. Most postage stamps that have been used are worth only pennies.Unused stamps are still worth their face value. A unused 29 cent stamp is still worth 29 cents.What makes a postage stamp valuable depends on the following factors:Age: Older stamps are ususally worth more than newer stamps.Certain categories: Some stamps are worth more because of their popularity. As an example; baseball or movie star stamps are worth more.Mistakes: Stamps that have a mistake are ususally worth a lot more.Combination of Age & a Mistake stamp are very valuable.
Although there are rare stamps, in general WWII food ration stamps in a book of stamps (with some missing) are worth $2 to $5. An absolutely new book of stamps (unsigned) might be worth $10 or more. A book of stamps signed by someone famous would, of course, be worth even more. Loose stamps (not in a book) are generally worthless - a few pennies, if that.
When the great depression hit Britain, its economy flopped badly because they had no money to manufacture any more iron, steel, textile, etc. The value of pounds dropped that it wasnt worth the price of gold anymore. The economy of Britain couldnt lend out loans to other countries anymore and they couldnt continue their trade with their main trader Germany.
Owning gold during a depression will give you an upper hand because gold has always held a high value and worth. Whereas money such as the dollar, if a depression were to occur then its value and worth would deflate and it wouldn't help as much as gold would.
Cancellation refers to the postal markings printed on stamps after they are mailed. Stamps with these marks on them are known as "cancelled" or "used" stamps. Yes, they are worth something to collectors, but their value varies widely, from almost nothing ( say 5 cents per hundred) to thousands of dollars.That depends a great deal on the stamp. In general, stamps on cover are worth more than those off of the cover. To determine value, you would have to consult a catalog or dealer.
They are worth 2 cents.
Romanian stamps can be very valuable. Romanian stamps can be worth 8 to 400 dollars. The value of the Romain stamps depend on their quality and age.
