Coupons have been around for a VERY long time. The very first coupon was created in 1887 from the mind of Atlanta businessman Asa Candler. Candler used this new invention to push forward the company he had founded, Coca-Cola. His invention of the coupon had propelled Coca-Cola from a small-time drink into a massive product that dominated the market! Coupons slowly started to become more available during the early 1900s. During the Great Depression, the use of coupons really took off and became well known across the United States. Throughout the 20th century, the process of traditional coupons became widespread and many people were using them to get discounts.
