I dont quite undersdtand how this worked. Who would give such a token to whom? And who sold them initially?
It seems like a rather ineffective way to handle this tax thing. The cost of making those must have exceeded the value they represent. Rather weird.

From what I saw online. They were made by the state. I am not sure how the state distributed them. But it looks like people would get them from stores. You could give a business a penny and they would give you 10 of these tokens in return, which you could then use to pay tax on small purchases.

The system didn’t last long, so obviously it wasn’t stellar. 🤣
Thats the impression I have, too.
So you had to buy those tokens from a shop, and if you purchase a good you give them back to the shop on top of the price. And then the shop does what with them? Sell them again to someone else? And of course they hand all the money from it to the tax office, right? Which would work just as well without those tokens...
Ma be they got rid of them soon because the noticed its just a epic waste of time and money. :)
