Pre-War money (Fallout 3)

Pre-war money is the currency of the former United States. Although faded, the notes appear to be American dollars. Pre-war money is no longer the official currency of the United States. The actual currency varies from region to region. The West Coast has developed a new currency after having used bottle caps for a number of years. The DC region, however, still uses these caps, having no means to produce its own currency.

In Fallout 3, pre-war money appears as a stack of indistinguishable bills. The item is valued at 10 caps per stack, depending on your barter level. Pre-war money is somewhat plentiful. It can be found nearly anywhere money might be found in real life such as Cash registers, safes, and desks. For whatever reason, it can also be found in Garbage Cans. The Super-Duper Mart is one location that has a large quantity of Pre-war money located in each register at the checkout.

Uses
Despite being a misc. item, pre-war money has proven very useful to wastelanders. Its weightlessness makes it an ideal item to sell to merchants. It can be used as ammunition for the Rock-It Launcher, though as it is more useful as money (due to its weight and that it can be traded for a decent amount of caps) - it isn't the best choice of ammo over other misc. items.

Some places
Remember to check inside boxes (as you would for chems, etc...) by pulling them out; there is very often a hidden stash of money underneath a box of detergent or Cram. There are certain places where pre-war money is a common item to find.
 * Dukov's place - A total of 15 bundles which can be stolen.
 * Super-Duper mart - When entering there are several cash registers between the two entrances containing around 12 bundles of Pre-War money.
 * Fort Constantine - In the safe, along with the Bobblehead.
 * People's Bank of Point Lookout (Point Lookout) - at least 4 bundles of Pre-War money.
 * Abandoned Apartments (Into the Pitt) - there are around 12 bundles spread throughout the apartments.
 * The National Archives. In the tunnels on the way to collect the Declaration of Independence about 30 cash registers can be found. Most of which contain pre-war money.
