Sorry, no the coupon is the part that is cut of the card
Forbrukerne hentet på rasjoneringskontoret rasjoneringskort til forskjellige varer, med merker som forhandlerne skulle klippe av ved kjøp, og merkene ble regelmessig returnert til rasjoneringskontoret, som da kunne kontrollere at salget hadde skjedd i henhold til bestemmelsene.

The ration cards were presented to shopkeepers who cut the appropriate number of coupons for the rationed item at the time of purchase.
