Pre-War money (Fallout 76)

Pre-War money is a junk item

Characteristics
Formerly used as the official currency by the U.S. government, pre-War money has no longer any monetary value in Appalachia and can merely be scrapped for crafting components.

Crafting
Pre-War money can be broken down into its individual components for use in crafting:

Locations

 * Commonly found in safes and cash registers.
 * Commonly found on settler corpses.
 * Within secure transport containers carried by cargobots. The cargobot at the end of Collision Course contains up to 100.
 * A varying amount (usually between 40 and 50) can be found in a supply drop during Dropped Connection events.
 * A stack of 10 to 20 can be found during Back on the Beat at stash M-3 (the bank building) in Morgantown.
 * Turning in a Pleasant Valley claim ticket with the bellhop at the Pleasant Valley Ski Resort can yield 10-30 as a reward.

Behind the scenes
Pre-War money may have been based upon the $20 U.S. "Technicolor" Gold certificate, due to similarities in design.
