Civil War Store Cards were a type of currency used during the American Civil War, particularly in regions like Kentucky where traditional money was scarce. Issued by local merchants in 1863, these tokens often featured the name of the store and were used as a means of trade, functioning similarly to scrip. Due to their limited production and specific regional usage, these collectible coins are sought after by numismatists and collectors interested in Civil War-era memorabilia. The rarity and historical context surrounding them contribute to their value in the collectible coin market.
