Civil War Store Cards are a type of collectible coinage that emerged during the American Civil War in the early 1860s, specifically around 1862. These tokens were issued by merchants as a form of currency to address the coin shortage caused by the war. Unlike official U.S. currency, they were often specific to local businesses and commonly made of materials like brass or copper. Due to their historical significance and limited mintage, Civil War Store Cards are of interest to collectors and historians alike, though their exact values can vary based on rarity and condition.
