Civil War Store Cards are a specific type of collectible coin that were issued by merchants during the American Civil War, particularly in 1863. These tokens were used as an alternative currency due to the scarcity of coins at the time. Michigan, as one of the states affected by the war, produced its own store cards, which were typically made of materials such as brass or copper and featured distinctive designs related to the local businesses. These items are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and rarity, representing a unique facet of American numismatics.
