1861 - Coins

Civil War Store Cards are a type of currency issued by merchants during the American Civil War, specifically in 1861, when there was a shortage of official coinage. These store cards were often minted in various materials, including brass, copper, and other metals, and were used as a means of trade in local economies, particularly in Maryland. Their designs typically featured the name of the issuing merchant and were often locally significant, serving both practical use and as collectible items due to their historical context. Collectors value these pieces for their rarity, historical significance, and connection to the economic conditions of the Civil War era in the United States.
