The worst thing about it was that the series moved past that in Fallout 2. There was even a quest where the PC finds a giant stash of bottlecaps which proved to be worthless because people in Fallout 2 don't use bottlecaps as currency.

I remember that.

Even the first game had signs of society moving past the scavenging stages after the nuclear war, which makes all the after-the-fact excuses made for the setting still being in its scavenging stages game after game for centuries afterward more and more hollow.
