Civil War Store Cards were issued by merchants and businesses in the United States during the Civil War era, particularly in 1863. These tokens were used as a form of currency to address the shortage of conventional coins at the time. In Wisconsin, as in other states, local businesses would create their own store cards to facilitate transactions, often featuring unique designs representing the establishment. These collectibles reflect a significant period in American history and are sought after by numismatists due to their limited production and historical context.
