Civil War Store Cards are a unique type of collectible coin that emerged during the American Civil War (1861-1865) as a form of currency due to the scarcity of government-issued coins. These cards often featured local merchants' names and served as scrip for purchases in their stores, particularly in states like Minnesota. The coins were typically made from materials such as brass or other metals and were often marked with the year of issuance, making them notable for collectors. As they were issued by private businesses and not officially sanctioned by the government, their values can vary significantly based on rarity and condition.
