Civil War Store Cards are a type of collectible coin issued during the American Civil War, particularly popular in Ohio. These tokens were created by local merchants as a substitute for currency, which was scarce during the conflict. Dated from 1862, they often feature inscriptions related to the store or merchant, and are highly sought after by collectors for their historical significance and unique designs reflecting the economic conditions of the era. Due to their limited issuance and specific regional connections, these coins are considered valuable among numismatists.
