Civil War Store Cards are a specific type of collectible coin that were issued by merchants during the American Civil War, particularly in 1862. These tokens were often made of brass or copper and served as a substitute for coins, which were in short supply due to the war. In Michigan, like other states, local businesses created these store cards to facilitate commerce, with many featuring the merchant's name and location. Collectors often seek these tokens for their historical significance and connection to both the Civil War era and regional commerce.
