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.
