Bottle Caps

Item from Fallout by Interplay / Bethesda

Nuka-Cola caps repurposed as post-War currency — the wasteland's universal medium of exchange and proof that civilization will invent money out of anything.

Also known as: Caps, Currency, Money

What They Know

• Originally backed by the water merchants of the Hub in New California — caps could be exchanged for water
• Nuka-Cola caps specifically, not just any bottle cap — counterfeits exist but are detectable by weight
• The NCR tried to replace caps with paper dollars backed by gold reserves, but caps remain dominant
• Caesar's Legion mints its own coins but caps are still accepted in Legion territory
