What year did they have food stamp coins?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on your definition of "coin". Some states and local markets issued coin-like tokens to be issued as change. These were mostly made of plastic and often mimicked the sizes of the coins they represented, though some were larger, smaller or in unusual shapes like squares and hexagons. Private issues often served as a form of free advertisement and guaranteed that the recipient would return to the same store to spend the tokens.

How much do food stamps cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

16 - 18......depending on how thick the pages are. If the reference is to selling or buying food stamps, it is illegal. Most states now issue cards rather than the old method of having a book of stamps which look similar to coupons. Regardless it is against the law in all fifty states to traffic in the selling or buying of such and should not be attempted. They don't come in books. You have to apply through social services and if you qualify, they issue you the food stamp equivalent of a debit card.

Can felons get food stamps in California?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends upon what the felony is for. Most felons can get food stamps. The exception is drug felons - some drug felons can, and some can't get food stamps.
