Talk:Bobblehead - Barter

Bottle Cap
why is the vault boy holding a bottle cap if these where produced by vault-tec wouldn't he be holding US dollars? --Patduckles 17:26, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's a good question. But then again, why are there Pip-Boy images with Vault Boy holding Alien guns downloaded in to the pre-War system? Gameplay purposes. Nitty 03:30, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I noticed that too. Maybe it was originally holding something else (a coin?), but that something broke off (due to being handled by raiders?) and a bottle cap was glued on as a replacement? --D.D. King 18:31, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Bottle Cap equals Nuka-Cola Company
Perhaps instead of representing bottle caps as a currency, the cap being held represents Nuka-Cola, the financially dominating company. The huge financial success would fit in perfectly with the barter bobble-head. I doubt that Vault-Tec (openly) produced most of the items held by the bobble-heads; grenades, miniguns, alien-blaster-like-gun, so on... so it isn't much of a stretch that they would represent Nuka-Cola with one. There's been bigger stretches on this wiki, yes? Still it's not backed by anything specific, so it's simply speculation/my interpretation. Still thought it was worth mentioning though. :) Ilovefuzzykittens 11:26, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
