<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bert Gedin, post: 3108488, member: 92556&quot;](American) &quot;Civil War tokens. Tokens that were privately minted and distributed in the United States between 1861 and 1864. - Civil War tokens became illegal after the United States Congress passed a law on April22, 1864 prohibiting the issue of any one or two-cent coins, tokens or devices for use as a currency. - Patriotic Civil War tokens typically displayed a patriotic slogan or image on one or both sides. Majority of these slogans were minted in Union States, so slogans &amp; images were decidedly pro-Union. (e.g. &quot;Union For Ever&quot; and &quot;Old Glory&quot;. Images e.g. flag of the States, a 19th century cannon and &quot;U.S.S. Monitor&quot;).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
