NCR dollar

NCR dollars, or Money in Fallout 2, are the standard currency of the New California Republic.

Background
The NCR introduced its own money around the turn of the 23rd century and initially it relied on coins minted from gold. By 2241, the economy of NCR dominated the West Coast and coins became universal currency, used by the three big powers: NCR, Vault City and New Reno. During this time bottle caps had become worthless in these regions.

The gold in Redding, for a while, backed the NCR currency. However, by 2281, the gold had been targeted and destroyed during the NCR-Brotherhood War. As a result, the currency has become severely devalued, with a hundred-dollar bill coming out to around 40 caps rather than its face value, even in NCR territory or shops. This means that the exchange rate for NCR Currency to bottle caps is about 2 bottle caps to 5 NCR dollars. Its form had also changed: instead of minted coins, the NCR issues banknotes, similar to pre-War money. In the Mojave Wasteland, these notes can be seen in the $5, $20, and $100 denominations.

The notes are issued by the Republic Reserve located in Angel's Boneyard. In 2281, the current Treasurer of the Republic and head of the Republic Reserve is John Michael Henderton; his signature can be found on the front face of all NCR notes found in the Mojave Wasteland.
