Good article
Article looks great. Good images (free and well placed), covers major topics, well referenced, external links, nice lead. Article still short though. But otherwise, good job!--Esprit15d 19:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
GA Sweeps Review: Pass
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the requirements of the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "World History-Americas" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a good article. I'd recommend adding an inline citation for "Of the three types of Civil War tokens, sutler tokens are by far the rarest." If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have edited the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 05:35, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Fahnehielmare and war money?
Does Wikipedia have any article on the general use of tokens and other forms of "war money" during war? One example of paper money is sv:Fahnehielmare. I was trying to fix to reference to Banknote in the article Count Adolf Fredrik Munck af Fulkila to something more specific, but there seems not to be any article on the general subject. Or is there? -- Petri Krohn (talk) 21:32, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Re-direct for "Store card token"?
Store card tokens existed well before the U.S. civil war. I was planning to link from an article I am working on that relates to coins from the 1830s, but I get re-directed to this page. Unless there's any strong objections I will remove that re-direct link, and hopefully spend some time on creating a separate store card article. Captmondo (talk)

2007 GA with some uncited sections, such as the rarity scale. My biggest concern however is the breadth; this is an entire area of numismatic study with quite a large number of books, and this article is citing none of them (only books cited are a general guide book and a book on civil war cards.) It's mainly cited to grading company websites which are usually tertiary. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 18:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delist on breadth and sourcing grounds per nominator. Although I will note that since Civil War store cards are a subset of Civil War tokens, the use of a book about store cards is relevant and not unexpected; it isn't referring to "cards" as we would expect the definition to normally be.
