The coupons or stamps or rationing cards all varied according to the recipient of the ration card. Children each received their own card. They were able to get more milk, dairy products and meat than the adults could do. Cards for babies had more milk also. Each food item had their own squares or stamp locations according to the food item. See the link below to see what the rationing cards look like.

How could rationing coupons insure that consumers with the highest values get the limited amount of a good supplied when government price ceilings create shortages?

Rationing books were used during times of scarcity, such as during wartime, to allocate goods fairly among the population.
