NCR dollar

Regular money as a form of currency returns in Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout 2
Backed by NCR gold, minted coins are used as the standard currency by the 3 big powers: New California Republic, Vault City and New Reno. Bottle caps have become worthless.

Fallout: New Vegas
The NCR still uses their dollars in the area around New Vegas, but bottle caps have come back into use. The money is no longer backed by gold, after the Brotherhood of Steel destroyed NCR's gold reserves, so the money is backed by water instead. Its form has also changed - instead of minted coins, NCR issues banknotes, similiar to pre-War money. The money is very inflated, with a hundred-dollar bill coming out to around 40 caps rather than its face value, even in NCR territory or shops.

So all the NCR money leads to this..

1 bottle cap = 2.5 NCR Dollars

1 Legion Denarius = 4 bottle caps = 10 NCR dollars

1 Legion Aureus = 25 Legion Denarii = 100 bottle caps = 250 NCR dollars

The notes are issued by the Republic Reserve located in the Angel's Boneyard.
