Civil War Store Cards are a type of collectible coinage that were issued primarily by merchants during the American Civil War, specifically in 1863, when official currency was scarce. These tokens were used as currency in local transactions, particularly in Alabama and other Southern states, and often featured unique designs that represented the issuing merchant or regional symbols. The lack of official minting authority for these tokens means they can vary widely in rarity and design, making them appealing to collectors of Civil War memorabilia and numismatics alike. Many of these tokens remain unknown in terms of mintage and exact usage, further adding to their intrigue among collectors.
