Pencils are miscellaneous items in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
Characteristics
They are a miscellaneous item, and are largely of no use.
While their value is 1 cap each, pencils have no weight. Note that they cannot be loaded into the Rock-It Launcher, unlike the also weightless pre-War money.
After being upgraded, Book Chute can convert one pencil into 5 lead and 1 scrap metal.
