◈ Currency ◈ Wasteland Economy ◈
The Wasteland runs on trade, barter, and cold hard currency. Multiple forms of money circulate in the Wendover region - each backed by different powers and carrying different weight depending on who you are dealing with.
Currency Types
| Currency | Description | Value | Denominations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bottlecaps | The universal wasteland currency. Accepted everywhere, trusted by everyone. The standard unit of exchange. | 1 cap = 1 unit | 1, 10, 50, 100, 500 |
| NCR Dollars | Paper money issued by the New California Republic. Backed by the Republic's gold reserves - or what remains of them. Worth less than caps due to inflation and limited acceptance outside NCR territory. | 0.5 per dollar | 10, 50, 100, 500 |
| Legion Aureus | Gold coins minted by Caesar's Legion. Solid gold, universally recognized as valuable regardless of political opinion. One Aureus equals 10 Denarii. | 10× Denarius | Individual coins |
| Legion Denarius | Silver coins of the Legion. The base denomination of Legion currency. Widely accepted as a medium of exchange even by factions hostile to the Legion - silver is silver. | Base unit | Individual coins |
| Pre-War Money | Old-world paper currency. Worthless as legal tender but collected as a curiosity, used as kindling, or traded to those who value pre-war artifacts. | Cosmetic / 1 per unit | 10, 50, 100, 500 |
Wallets
Wallets (belt or ID slot) can hold multiple currency types and keep your money organized. All items tagged as Currency are eligible for wallet storage.
Opening up your Character Tab (by default: C), you can also deposit bottlecaps which will save your hard-earned money across rounds. The bottlecaps you deposit in a round are only saved to your current character and doesn't function as a universal bank across all of your characters. Currently, this method of depositing only supports bottlecaps, no other forms of currency.
Economic Notes
- Bottlecaps are the default medium of exchange throughout the Wasteland
- NCR Dollars trade at half value - two dollars for one cap's worth of goods
- Legion currency is accepted widely due to its metal content (gold and silver), regardless of political alignment
- Pre-War Money has no standardized trade value - its worth depends entirely on who wants it
