Post-War currency

Post-War currency is a mechanism for exchange for goods and services after the Great War.

By game
In Fallout: New Vegas, the currency is a special variety of miscellaneous item. Currency items have an absolute value in bottle caps, one which is not altered by the player's Barter skill. These items will almost always be bought or sold for the same value per unit, regardless of who the player is dealing with. The only exception is when trade with the NPC has a discount/penalty above +/-25% applied via the ShowBarterMenu command.

Additionally, currency items are subject to several limitations: they cannot have a weight and cannot have a script attached to them. Currency items appear in the MISC tab of the player's Pip-Boy, and other than the above differences are the same as standard miscellaneous items.

Casino chips
In Fallout: New Vegas, casino chips are used to play games like blackjack, roulette, or slots throughout the many casinos in the New Vegas area. Depending on the outcome of these games, gamblers can gain or lose chips. Each casino uses its own set of chips, which may be purchased or redeemed for Bottle Caps, NCR dollars or Legion coins at a cashier's kiosk within each casino.
