"Hey, buddy, can you spare a dime?"

[twowolves80]

So, I combed through the forums, and discovered that no one had yet created or asked for the creation of a mod to add the full panoply of U.S. coins to the random junk you find throughout the game. Not looking for the fussiness of replacing all the caps with coins.

Quite simply, just a mod that adds pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and gold and silver dollars, with the occasional wheat penny, zinc dime, Sacagawea dollar, and buffalo nickel thrown in for good measure. Junk that would have value only as metal scrap, but stuff that you would realistically find in safes and vaults as an anachronism of the past. It could be added to the leveled lists and be placed realistically where you would expect large amounts of coins throughout the commonwealth--registers, newspaper vending machines, Nuka Cola, Vim, and milk machines, and anywhere else appropriate.

"Oh, you have a bag of pennies? What's it weigh? Two pounds? Eh...I'll give you twenty caps for it."
"Twenty caps?! I had to kill--"
"Look, buddy, I don't need your life story, and I really don't need the copper. Twenty caps, take it or leave it."
"...gimme the damned money."
"Good choice." *uncocks the hammer on the pipe pistol beneath the counter*
