Worthless Yellow Rocks: Difference between revisions

Line 271:

:* The NCR starts to print paper money backed by gold. Unfortunately, before the game starts the NCR gold reserves are irradiated by the Brotherhood of Steel, so they have to switch back to backing their currency on water. This massively reduces the value of the NCR dollar.

:* The Legion mints its own money system of gold and silver coins which end up having a higher value than NCR currency or bottlecaps, owing to actually being made from said metals.

Someone in the game gives you a quest to destroy a bottlecap press located in a pre-war soda factory, noting that a supply of newly pressed "counterfeit" caps will ~~destablize~~ the economy. (Unfortunately, you aren't given a chance to use the press before destroying it.)

In the ''Dead Money'' expansion, you can come across gold ingots - these weigh 35 pounds and are valued at 10,349 caps. This means that many items (like fully-repaired rifles and energy weapons) are worth ''more'' than their weight in gold. }}

:* Considering the ''weight'' of Pre-War money, bottlecaps, denarii, NCR dollars, and Sierra Madre Cash is 0, it's all ''infinitely'' more valuable than its weight in gold.
