Where to Find Pre-War Money in Fallout 76

The Necessity of Pre-War Currency

While pre-war money may not be the most crucial artifact in the wasteland, it still holds a certain value. Its primary use lies in its dismantling for cloth, which is essential for crafting mass cloth, unrefined gunpowder, and exclusive clothing from the Atomic Shop. Gunpowder, in particular, is highly valued, as it can be turned into ammunition, which is vital for the rare weapons available for purchase from Minerva during her brief visits.

However, travelers are more often drawn to pre-war currency due to daily and weekly quests that frequently require its collection. Rewards for completing these additional tasks vary, but they are usually worth the effort. You can earn unique cosmetics, emotes, player icons, and other items that add a personal touch to your journey through the wasteland.

Places to Find Pre-War Currency

Knowing where to look, it’s easy to figure out that pre-war money mostly appears in cash registers, forgotten safes, and the protected containers of Kargo-bots scattered throughout the desolate landscape of Fallout 76.

The greatest benefit comes from searching cash registers, which can be found in or around the following locations:

Tyler County Fairgrounds
The Giant Teapot
Wavy Willard’s Water Park
Clarksburg Shooting Club
Grafton
Sunnytop Ski Lanes
Morgantown
Slocum’s Joe
Red Rocket
Camden Park

Any commercial establishment can hide cash registers filled with pre-war money. As for safes, they are often found behind the counters of pre-war businesses, although you're more likely to encounter them in residential buildings.

Events that Grant Pre-War Currency

For those who don’t wish to aimlessly wander the wasteland searching for cash registers, participating in public events offers double the reward. These gatherings reward you with experience points and loot, with the added chance of earning pre-war money during the following events:

Collision Course
Dropped Connection
Back on the Beat
