Things like ration chits are perfect for a society whose leaders are trying to promote serfdom or slavery, and trying to keep a majority of the population poor to help keep themselves in power. (This way, they can "save the day" by giving out extra ration chits every so often, but very few people, if any, actually get enough wealth or power to challenge the city leadership.)
Ration chits could also be extended to other things, like clothing, fuel oil or kerosene (like for oil lamps and suchlike), even luxuries like toys for the kids.
