Description
The thousands of tokens made in the North during the Civil War were only made during 1863 and part of 1864, after which they were made illegal.
A token is used like a coin but is not a coin. Rather, it stands for a coin without the value of the coin. Maybe its copper, but says its value is the same as a silver coin. Usually tokens were made privately, but sometimes governments got involved.
