1862 - Coins

Civil War Store Cards are a type of scrip issued by merchants during the American Civil War, particularly in the Southern states like Tennessee. These tokens were used as a form of currency in a time of economic instability and coin scarcity. Often made of materials such as wood, tin, or aluminum, they featured various designs, including merchant names and local imagery. The year 1862 marks a significant period when such tokens were widely circulated due to the inflation and disruption of the U.S. coinage system. Collecting these pieces offers insight into the socio-economic conditions of the time and the role of local merchants in wartime economy.
