Civil War Store Cards are a type of collectible coin that emerged during the American Civil War era, particularly in 1861. These tokens were issued by private merchants in Massachusetts and other states due to the shortage of small change. They typically featured the name of the merchant and were used as a means of local currency. The designs vary, and they often reflect wartime themes or local insignia, making them a unique collectible for numismatists interested in Civil War history and regional commerce.
