Civil War Store Cards are a unique type of collectible coin, specifically issued during the American Civil War (1861-1865). These cards were created by retailers, especially in Ohio, as a form of currency to facilitate transactions in the absence of reliable coinage. The cards often featured designs emblematic of the era, with many depicting patriotic themes or local businesses. Dating back to 1862, these store cards are categorized as "Unknown" due to the lack of comprehensive records about their production and distribution, making them particularly intriguing for collectors interested in Civil War memorabilia and local economic history.
