A Quick History------

OPA stands for Office of Price Administration

Rationing was first started in 1942. Although the tokens were not issued until early 1944 and stopped a short itme later in the later part of 1945.

OPAs were used by retailers to give change back for food bought with ration stamps.
Blue tokens were used for processed foods; red tokens for meats and fats.

No one has found a true reason for the letters on the OPA's. Theories include, they are random; demographics; and possibly the prevention of counterfitting.
