Pre-War Currency is a mechanism for exchange for goods or services and the costs associated with products.

Background

Dollars were the official currency of the United States.[1][2][3] Various coin denominations, such as pennies, dimes, and quarters, are mentioned.[4] An Antique Lincoln Coin Collection is referred to as "collection of pennies."[5]

Pre-War money appears as a bound stack of banknotes, and is used to represent sums of cash.[6][7] The People's Bank of Point Lookout instructed their employees not to exchange Chinese Yuan notes by request of Civil Defense.[8] If a customer attempted to do so, employees were required to trigger the silent alarm and delay the customer without arousing their suspicion.[8] Credit Cards and Money Orders were also used before the war.[9]

    Mr. House: "That's simply not true. I am the only person to hold any rights pertaining to the Chip. I designed it, and I paid for it - dearly. To develop that Chip, I spent a sum of U.S. dollars - not the bottle caps that pass as currency these days - but a sum beyond counting. For decades, I paid salvagers to comb the ruins for it. And when it was finally discovered, tens of thousands of caps spent to have it brought here. We know how that turned out. Complete your contract and it will be the last time I pay for the Chip. Save your questions for then."
