Description: Civil War tokens are tokens that were privately minted and distributed in the United States between 1861 and 1864. They were used mainly in the Northeast and Midwest The widespread use of the tokens was a result of the scarcity of government-issued cents during the Civil War.Civil War tokens became illegal after the United States Congress passed a law on April 22, 1864, prohibiting the issue of any one or two-cent coins, tokens or devices for use as currency. On June 8, 1864, an additional law was passed that forbade all private coinage.Civil War tokens are divided into three types—store cards, patriotic tokens, and sulter tokens. All three types were utilized as currency, and are differentiated by their designs. The collectible value of the tokens is determined chiefly by their rarity.
