Do they know something we don't or do they apply their experience with the original Fallout to this? We don't know. Might be a red herring.[/quote]
 
Bottle caps for currency in Fo3 has been mentioned in at least one preview, which is quite odd since it was a Hub-specific deal that quite understandably didn't last even to the time of Fo2.

PoS made that same mistake, didn't it? Wouldn't surprise me if it happened again. But hey, at least it's not Tactics' 1990's type ringpulls. :x
 
Meh. Bottle caps ain't that bad an idea for a currency. It's light, widespread, easily divisible, different brands can work for various denominations and it certainly can't be forged :) So the same idea could have been adopted in D.C. independently.

On the other hand, they're not very durable, over 200 years there might not be enough bottle caps at all. I'd imagine ammunition or batteries would be more widespread in a barter economy.

I wouldn't call it a "mistake" though.

Still can't find that review, apart from Cenega's release, bottle caps are only mentioned in comments below the Joystiq review.
