Ring pulls are a currency in Fallout Tactics.
Background
Ring pulls are used as currency by people in the area of Chicago. They are tabs from soda cans. Ring pulls can be found all over the settlements in early missions and traders will accept them. There are usually some outsider traders in Brotherhood bases who will accept ring pulls as well.
Characteristics
Ring pulls and Brotherhood scrips have the same value.
Notes
Brotherhood members don't accept ring pulls as a payment method.
Behind the scenes
In reality, the ring pull was only introduced for soda can use in 1975. Prior to this time the most common mechanism to open a soda can would have been the "pull-tab" (or "pop-tab") introduced in 1964. Before that, cans would have been "flat-top" and opened by puncturing two holes into it using a can opener.[1]
