USDA food stamp scrip occupied a genuinely odd corner of American monetary history. The El Cambio designation identifies this as one of the bilingual coupon booklets introduced in the 1960s and 1970s to serve Spanish-speaking recipients in border regions and urban Hispanic communities — a practical concession to the reality that monolingual English instructions were failing a significant portion of the program's intended users.
The 10-cent denomination was the smallest unit in the scrip series, issued to make change when a food purchase fell below a full dollar coupon value. Retailers were obligated to accept them; most hated handling them.
