In Fallout 76, you can acquire Gold Bullions in exchange for Treasury Notes, which can be attained by completing daily Raider Quests and Settler Quests. After acquiring some notes, go to the Gold Bullion Trader at the Crater. There you will get 10 Gold Bullions for every single Treasury Notes. The maximum you can acquire in a day is 400.

We know the rates are unfair, but in the apocalypse, nothing is. However, during the Gold Rush weekend, the Overlords at Bethesda are more generous with the players and offer a slightly better rate. During the Gold Rush, the Gold Bullion limit is increased from 400 to 800, but the exchange rate remains the same.

Gold Bullions are special in-game currencies that can be used to purchase some of the most effective items in the game. These include Plasma Caster, T-65 Power Armor, Turbo-Fert Fertilizer, and more, including the previously mentioned popcorn machine, which constantly produces food.

With the Gold Rush Weekends, you can stash double amounts of Gold Bullions each day. This means that instead of making 400 per day, you make 800. With this rate, you can save up to get the Popcorn Machine in just two days, instead of taking four long days. Other than the improved exchange rates on Gold Bullions, you will also get extra XP during the event.
