Pre-War money (Fallout 3)

Pre-war money is a junk item, appearing as a stack of paper notes. It can often be found in safes and cash registers.

Although it is of low value, it is weightless. Pre-war money may as well be taken and sold to a scavenger or trader. Or to be kept as ammo for the Rock-It Launcher, as it is weightless, you can never carry too much.

The reason for this being a commodity may be twofold - both as a plentiful supply of paper for pulping and recycling into useable materials, or to be stockpiled against the possibility that, if the US reforms, the currency will once again become valid. Also, let's not forget that it can, in a bind, serve as "rough on the edges" toilet paper.

Pre-War Money is found just about everywhere, in both public and domestic areas, as well as retail outlets such as the Super Duper Mart.
