Is it possible to find a civil war token from a roll of pennies from a walmart?
Theoretically yes. The US had changed to "small cents" in 1857, when the flying eagle penny was introduced. Before that pennies were much bigger - about the size of a quarter, and thick. Starting with the 1857 flying eagle cent the pennies have been the same size since. Many Civil War tokens were made in the same size, some by grinding smooth a penny and engraving something patriotic on it. They are often called victory tokens. The flying eagle pennies were only made for three years, and were replaced by Indian Head pennies, which were made through 1908, when the Lincoln penny was introduced.
