About this image

basically the premise of this is that old coins (just after the revolutionary war) would be a more prominent currency in Boston then bottlecaps. this is a model WiP for a mod I'm making because of the currency part of this article https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/458606877310719380/ which is a good point. who decided bottlecaps were the main currency in the whole country. there is no established US government, so it's most likely based on area.  let me know if you like the idea.

    I'd like something to substitute for bottle caps. But, Coins from the 18th century are pretty rare today, so by 2077 I think they'd be even more rare. I could see it if they were replicas but they'd still be heavy to carry around. That's my main reality check with the currency system. 10,000 bottle caps would probably weigh around 50 pounds, take up a lot of space and take a lot of time to count out when purchasing something.
    Maybe coins in different denominations that could be exchangeable for caps? But that kind of a mod would take some doing.

    If you just want to change the textures/meshes (or whatever you need to do to make the substitution), I can get behind that.

    I like the idea, and yeah, I don't buy the idea of bottlecaps as some universal currency that everyone across an entire continent recognizes.

    It probably would have been way too hard to program, but I would have thought it'd be cool if different in-game locations or factions had their own currencies, and considered Nuka-Cola bottlecaps completely worthless.

    I guess it's a similar conundrum with Skyrim, where the Stormcloaks still accept Imperial currency, even though it should be worthless to them.
