Pre-War money (Fallout: New Vegas)

Pre-War money is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Pre-War money appears as a stack of indistinguishable bills. The item is valued at ten caps per stack and is affected by the player character's Barter skill. Pre-War money is somewhat plentiful. As it has lost almost all value to the inhabitants of the Wasteland, it can also be found in garbage cans.

Uses
The primary usefulness of pre-War money is a trade item, owing to its weightlessness and relatively high value.

In Dead Money, pre-War money can be exchanged for (or from) Sierra Madre chips while inside the Sierra Madre casino. The exchange rate is 1:1 – one chip for one stack of pre-War money – making it a potentially profitable source of income given the availability of the Sierra Madre chips.

Locations
It can be found nearly anywhere money might be found in real life, such as cash registers, safes, suitcases and desks.
