Plastic ID cards would make ideal currency: Light, durable, and a balance between really common and rare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-84873455625606507872011-01-01T23:29:22.337-05:002011-01-01T23:29:22.337-05:00True, also copper is too useful to use as money I ...True, also copper is too useful to use as money I would think. Lead however is pretty easy to find, and I've held uranium a couple of times, but unless your in Canada, France or Russia good luck doing so.Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-75555886281009719292009-10-14T00:32:59.365-04:002009-10-14T00:32:59.365-04:00Canageek, how'd I miss this comment so long.
...Canageek, how'd I miss this comment so long. <br />Every old house near me has a goodly amount of copper in it as do the wires in the street but cp appear as a standard coin type in the game book. I'm not going for science reality here but science fantasy.

I've held a raw chunk in my hand. Refined Uranium is too 'hot' to handle. Also: Why did say, the Romans use Gold, Silver and whatnot as currency? Because its rare and easily purified. I can't see wastlanders wasting good & useful materials on coins: You need to use it to survive! I think gold makes a lot more sense the uranium or lead: Every old house will have a good bit of lead in it, and its a very common mineral if someone wants to mine it. Uranium is very very rare and almost certainly too hard to find to make coins out of. Plastoons I can see being valuable however. <br /><br />I don't mean to be overly critical, I just see some flaws here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-30719745338320379782009-07-28T21:44:12.189-04:002009-07-28T21:44:12.189-04:00Wow...how about DEPLETED Uranium pieces (valuable ...Wow...how about DEPLETED Uranium pieces (valuable for their use in ammunition and armor).<br /><br />Keep in lead coffers indeed!JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.com
