备注	Ohio re-legalized beer on April 7, 1933 — the same day the Cullen-Harrison Act took effect nationally, months before full Prohibition repeal. The state moved quickly to tax sales, and these small-denomination revenue stamps were issued to document that 2-cent tax obligation at the point of sale. Technically fiscal instruments rather than currency, they occupy an odd category that attracts both notaphilists and revenue collectors. The near-square format is a practical artifact of the denomination — there was simply nothing that needed more space.
