Civil War Store Cards are a type of collectible coin that served as emergency currency during the American Civil War. These tokens were issued by local merchants and businesses, particularly in areas where regular currency was scarce. In West Virginia, store cards from around 1861 are particularly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and limited availability. The designs and inscriptions on these tokens varied widely, often reflecting local business names and values, making them a unique representation of economic activity during that tumultuous period in American history.
