Pre-War Money was the official currency of the United States before the Great War.[1]

Background

Pre-War money appears as a bound stack of banknotes, and is used to represent sums of cash.[2][3] Automated pre-War vendors continued to recognize the validity of the dollar.[Pub 1] After the war, it still has value as kindling.[4]

Publications
  1. Fallout: The Roleplaying Game Rulebook p.84: "Pre-War money can still be found, but it’s more of a novelty or collector’s item these days. Those stacks and bundles of green banknotes can be traded for a tidy little stack of caps if you know who to sell them to, and there are a few places— often with still-functioning vending machines— which still accept these old notes as money."
