Civil War Store Cards were a form of currency issued by merchants during the American Civil War, particularly in areas where traditional currency was scarce. In Missouri, for example, store cards from 1864 were used to facilitate trade and purchases, functioning as a localized substitute for regular currency. These coins often featured the name of the merchant and sometimes included unique designs, making them collectible items that reflect both economic conditions and local history during the Civil War era. Collectors value them for their historical significance, rarity, and the insight they provide into the commerce of the time.
