* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' uses bottle caps, most prominently Nuka-Cola caps (though folks in the Mojave Wasteland accept Sunset Sarsaparilla caps), which can even be taken off of sealed bottles of soda when you drink them; effectively, anyone who buys a bottle of Nuka-Cola gets a 1 cap discount. Actually [[FridgeBrilliance quite clever when you think about it]]: not only are they harder to counterfeit than any coin or banknote that could be made in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, they're backed by the most valuable commodity in the region: Clean drinking water. ''Fallout 2'' made a temporary switch to gold coins minted by the NCR, but after the Brotherhood of Steel destroyed their gold reserves everyone switched back to caps and new NCR dollars are often worth less than half their face value in caps.
** In ''Fallout: Tactics'', which is of questionable canonicity, locals around Chicago use the ring pulls off of soda cans instead. This can be problematic, as Brotherhood of Steel vendors only accept Brotherhood scrips and wasters only accept ring pulls. Both have identical value for gameplay reasons, but players need to be careful about who they sell items to, lest they find themselves needing to trade with someone who finds all of your money worthless.
