Pop Caps
Pop Caps adds bottle caps as a currency for Forge 1.20.1, letting players collect, combine and spend them in the game.
What it does
Bottle caps are the currency added by Pop Caps. Nine caps combine into a cap stack, and nine cap stacks combine into a bag, so the value can be carried in fewer slots. A cap can also be melted in a furnace into one iron nugget. Because the mod runs on client and server, both the server and every player need it installed. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Forge 1.20.1 only.

What the author says
A simple mod that adds bottle caps as currency. This is not programmed into the loot tables of any mobs or chests so you will need to create your own modpack to add them, or use loot-changing mods.
