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

 * Often found in safes.
 * Settler corpses contain them, such as in Flatwoods.
 * Cash registers contain them.
 * Within secure transport containers carried by cargobots. The cargobot on Collision Course contains more than usual, around 100 pre-war money.
 * 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 pleasant valley claim tickets with the bellhop often yields roughly 10-30 pre-war money.

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