this mod seams to be a slightly more lore friendly version of an FNV mod main reason for using this mod is that adds to the immersion and mod makes sense in FO3 as you would expect the Enclave to try recreating a fiat currency even though caps work better.
2023 review: It's going to be shorter than usual this time - good new addition for currency and loot, one of the most bad "unmarked quest" type of mods. Just look at Geck screenshot, where this note (which you need for finding location of secret treasure) is located. So, if you, like me or hundreds of other players, use some kind of Flora Overhaul or terrain overhaul, there is around 5-10% of actually finding this note on your own, without looking at Geck for "cheat". Also, it can potentially "clip" through terrain even without any environmental overhaul. But, as I wrote in the beginning, gold bars and coins are pretty and have enough details to store them in your player house. Also, in my case, aside from "note quest", full bug-free experience. And I didn't encounter strange bug with leveled lists like jakx1245 stated in this comment section. Should you try this mod in 2023? Yes, but forget about this weird note, just go right to the Capitol Building and get your gold. This kind of "unmarked quest" doesn't worth your energy or time to do "pixel-hunting". Endorsement from me for gold bars and coins, but not for "quest" (it's really shouldn't be in this category at all, huh).
I like the inclusion of Gold in the game. Gold has been a Standard currency and item of value throughout History, so why would it suddenly be worthless in a post apocalyptic world, when it had value before? So this makes a lot of sense, to me at least, plus, I just love the way it looks. Also, isn't there a spot in game where a couple of super mutants are talking about "Promised Gold" ?? I snuck up on them and listened to them talking before killing them and overheard that. I could be wrong, I only played once (Beginning a new game now all these years later) and had ALOT of mods installed and it could have been from one of those. Anyway, I like the idea, Thanks for the mod, and MJY too.
I do have to say, I find this mod really freaking cool. As probably expected, I can't find the note outside of the unspecified location, but I do know it is around, because I found the treasure trove. If anyone could send me the specific location of the note, that would be swell.
Would it be possible for me to use this miss assets in new Vegas to create a similar mod? The mods author doesn't seem active. In the likely event that he is no longer active, is there anyway I could use the assets while providing adequate credit?

***TREASURE TROVE SPOILERS***
The note is right outside of Raven Rock, and the treasure trove is deep within the Capitol Building. I hope this helps!
