Caps stash (Fallout 4)

A caps stash is a one-time use tin full of bottle caps.

Characteristics
A gray tin full of bottlecaps. It is not an item that can be placed in the inventory, but rather like a bobby pin box in that it adds a random amount of bottlecaps to one's inventory instead. In Fallout 4, the number of bottlecaps ranges between 14-23. Companions can pick up the caps stash as an item, placing it in their own inventory, accessible to the player character. In Fallout 76, caps stashes are treated as containers, with the caps already held inside. The Cap Collector perk can significantly increase the number of caps found.

Fallout 76
Although the contents of caps stashes in Fallout 76 are instanced, the stashes themselves are not guaranteed spawns and may not spawn in the world that the player character is in. Changing the server will affect caps stash spawns.
