1861 - Coins

Civil War store cards are a type of collectible coin issued by merchants during the American Civil War, around 1861. These tokens were created in response to the lack of small change during the war, often featuring local businesses' names and denominations. Unlike official currency, they were not recognized as legal tender but served as a means of facilitating trade in local markets. Collectors value these tokens for their historical significance and rarity, reflecting both the economic conditions of the time and the regional commerce of the United States.
