Post-War currency

The currency throughout the world of Fallout varies from area to area and even faction to faction.

Casino chips
While not technical currency, casino chips are used by the casinos of New Vegas and its surrounding environment. Casino chips can be bought from vendors inside the casino and used to play games such as blackjack, roulette or slots. Depending on the outcome of these games, gamblers can gain or lose chips which can then be redeemed at their respective casino for bottle caps, NCR dollars or Legion coins.

Gold bullion


Gold bullion is solid bars, or ingots, of pure gold. Once forming the backbone of most currencies before fiat currencies and rapid inflation, gold holds its value as a precious metal of finite quantity. Even after the Great War, gold bullion is still accepted by merchants and by traders specializing in gold.

Mine scrips
The town of Redding uses Morningstar mine scrips and Kokoweef mine scrips as secondary currency, supplementing NCR dollars.

Legion money
