Big D Foods was a regional American supermarket chain that issued its own fractional paper currency during the early 1970s as part of promotional or change-making programs — a practice that saw modest revival among retailers during that period when small coin shortages created practical headaches at the register. These privately issued notes occupy an odd taxonomic space: not quite scrip in the Depression-era sense, not quite coupons, but something in between that most customers simply spent and forgot.
Documentation on Big D Foods' corporate history is thin, and the precise issuing locations remain difficult to pin down.
