Civil War store cards are a type of collectible coin issued by merchants during the American Civil War, particularly around 1864. These tokens were used as alternative currency due to the scarcity of official coinage at the time. Originating primarily in Illinois and other states, they featured various designs and inscriptions, often including the merchant's name and location. As collectibles, these tokens are valued for their historical significance and the insights they provide into the local economies during the Civil War era.
