In Fallout 76, a currency is any item that is exchanged in quantity for a good or service. What qualifies as an exchange ranges from depositing miscellaneous items into a terminal interface to making account-wide microtransactions in the Atomic Shop.
Currency[]
A currency is any item that is listed in the Currency section of the STATS tab in the Pip-Boy. While caps may be traded with vendors or other players, every other currency is bound to the character or player account. None of these items may be dropped at any time, for any reason. With the exception of Atoms, all currencies have a maximum quantity.

Miscellaneous currency[]

- Treasury Notes
Treasury Notes can be exchanged at a gold press machine for 10 gold bullion each. Outside of special community events, up to 40 notes may be exchanged every 20 hours, with the clock resetting after the first exchange of the new 20-hour period. Treasury Notes are obtained as a reward for completing public events or from daily quests offered by the Settlers and Raiders factions.
