Civil War Store Cards are a type of collectible coin issued by merchants during the American Civil War era (1861-1865) as a form of currency. These tokens were often made of copper or brass and featured unique designs that represented local businesses. In Wisconsin, many store cards were issued by local merchants to facilitate transactions in the absence of standard coinage, reflecting the economic conditions of the time. Collectors value these tokens for their historical significance and rarity, with particular interest in those from specific towns or with unique designs.
