when i was in scouts the first scoutmaster was a landlord. my dad told a story where they were having a meeting on how to help low-income parents pay for their kid's camping trips and this rear end in a top hat comes in talking on a cell about how his boat in his florida home might get damaged by a hurricane

Okay so he thinks gold would be a better way to back up Fallout currency. But the NCR uses water-backed bottlecaps, presumably because water is more valuable than gold. Bottlecaps are also an inflation-control mechanism because the machinery to create new bottlecaps was destroyed in the war. Using old paper currency wouldn't work because there's simply way too much of it to lubricate commodity exchange. But this will eventually be a problem, Unruhe predicts, as the economy grows and then stagnates, triggering an economic crisis.

Also the NCR minted gold coins at one point to trade with Vault City and New Reno, which destroyed the value of the bottlecaps, but the Brotherhood of Steel in 2281 destroyed the NCR's gold reserves. "This lead to an exchange rate of 1 Bottle Cap for 2.5 NCR dollars."

reeeee the bottle cap was introduced by semi-independent merchants based in the Hub after the brotherhood destroyed the ncrs gold reserves and they started debasing their currency to pay off war debts, its not an official ncr currency

not saying it always worked but it did work in Cuba (from which the entire theory was derived from) and Nicaragua. Obviously not going to work in every situation, but blowing it off as "romantic nonsense" is ignoring history.
