As I understand it, these meat ration tokens were not introduced until very late in the war - as this newspaper article from July 1945 indicates; they were kept in use for some time after the war, as exported Canadian meat was vital to aid in the reconstruction of Europe. They were intended as "change" for the fairly large denomination ration coupons; they were worth between one and three ounces of meat, depending on the particular meat being requested.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
