Bottle caps are the standard currency in FOnline:Reloaded. This is the only regular money in the wasteland. Its weight is 0, which means you can carry as much as you wish with you.
History
Bottle caps were turned into money in Hub, and that's why caps are sometimes called hubbucks. The reason why they were chosen as official wasteland money is that the technology needed to manufacture bottle caps and paint them has been lost during the Great War, which limits the number of bottle caps that would appear in the world. That limited number also assures their value is preserved.
