After June 17, 2009 paper food stamp (now called SNAP) coupons were no longer accepted by authorized retailers. Now, all SNAP benefits are provided and redeemed via electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card. Prior to that time, they were single use US currency and were destroyed after being turned in by the retailers. No one knows how many paper coupons survive and they are very collectible today. Depending on age and condition, complete mint booklets can sell for up to 10 times face value. According to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, paper food coupons are totally legal to buy, sell, and trade among private citizens.
