Civil War Store Cards were a form of currency issued by merchants during the American Civil War, particularly in Virginia, where traditional coinage was scarce. These cards often featured the name of the store and promised to pay the bearer a specific amount in goods. They served as a crucial medium of exchange in local economies and are collectible due to their historical significance, unique designs, and the socio-economic context of the Civil War era. Collectors value them for their rarity and connection to the period's commercial practices.
