Civil War Store Cards are a type of collectible coin that emerged during the American Civil War (1861-1865). These tokens were issued by local merchants as a substitute for currency, which was in short supply at the time. Often made of materials such as copper or brass, they featured unique designs and inscriptions that identified the issuing store. Examples of these tokens can be quite varied, with some carrying significant historical value, particularly those tied to specific locations or events during the Civil War era. As a category of non-contemporary coins, their appeal lies in both their historical significance and their representation of everyday commerce during a turbulent period in U.S. history.
