Pre-War money (Fallout 3)

Pre-war money is the currency of the former United States. Although faded, the notes appear to be American dollars. Pre-war money is no longer the official currency of the United States. The actual currency varies from region to region. The West Coast has developed a new currency after having used bottle caps for a number of years. The DC region, however, still uses these caps, having no means to produce its own currency.

In Fallout 3, Pre-war money appears as a stack of indistinguishable bills. The item is valued at 10 caps per stack, depending on your barter level. Pre-war money is somewhat plentiful. It can be found nearly anywhere money might be found in real life such as Cash registers, safes, and desks. As it has lost almost all value to the inhabitants of the Wasteland, it can also be found in Garbage Cans.

Uses
Despite being a misc. item, Pre-war money has proven very useful to Wastelanders. Its weightlessness makes it an ideal item to sell to merchants. It can be used as ammunition for the Rock-It Launcher, though as it is more useful as money (due to its weight and that it can be traded for a decent amount of caps) - it isn't the best choice of ammo over other misc. items.

Locations
is located throughout the Capital Wasteland, The Pitt, Point Lookout and Adams Air Force Base.
