China commodity coupons, or liang piao, were government-issued ration tickets used from the 1950s to the 1990s to distribute scarce goods like food, fuel, and bicycles under China's planned economy. These coupons were essential for citizens to purchase necessities, with the system being gradually phased out as China transitioned to a market economy by 1993-1995. Today, these historical coupons are popular collectibles.
