Wallets

[antdad]

Coin or no coin pocket?

I was bought one without and I hate it, bowls of coins all over the place.

Even though my Animal wallet as no coin pocket I would prefer a small coin pocket myself.

I don't really carry coins about. I have a very small, simple card wallet that I can shove a couple of notes in.

I tend not to use cash so much these days, all goes on straight on my bank card.

Only cash I *do*need is for lunch at work.

No coin wallet, to much in it anyway (no, not to much cash, just all lot of need to have junk).

I have a wallet and a separate thing for my coins, a Kangaroo's Scrotum! I've had it for years, got it from eBay. It's a tourist type gift, and a by product of the Kangaroo culls that take place in Australia.

My wallet is full of paper, but none of it appears to be money.

This is what has worked for me excellently during the last 5 years - separate wallets for coins/notes which I always keep together:

Thanks K, haven't seen a 50K note since the demise of the lira.

I have a tan Lloyd Baker leather wallet that I bought at Paddington Station from a leather stall, just for notes and cards and the odd receipt. I don't think it was very dear but it's nice.

Coins go in my pocket. I don't use them much but they're handy for parking. At the end of a day I take all coins of 50 pence and under and put them in the coin jar for a little treat every 6 months, it usually becomes holiday spending money. If I have more than about 3 pound coins in my pocket, a couple of those go in as well.
Gives me about 200 quid spends every 6 months or so.

I treated myself to a Mulberry card holder.

Thin enough for the very few cards I own.

A thin black leather Next wallet for cards and cash. Shrapnel in trouser pockets. If possible any pound coins go in a Dalek money box to go towards a Takeaway once a month

I had the same one now for ~10yrs. It has a coin section that I use to keep those little key chain sized discount cards that stores give out.
It's I Harley Davidson one that originally came with a chain to secure it to your belt.
Do need a new one.

"It's I Harley Davidson one that originally came with a chain to secure it to your belt."

Have you ever heard that Dennis Leary routine where he berates the "skater chain" trend of a few years ago?
"I've got pierced balls, and I use the chain so I can attach my keys to my balls. That way I always know where my keys and my balls are".
You just reminded me of that. :-D

I had a plain black leather Tula wallet from the age of 15 up until summer 2010 (about 15 years), a simple notes and cards affair. It had worn its way and when I was in Cyprus in 2010 I bought a marbled brown leather wallet.

It had one flaw, I got back to the UK and realised that it just held a £20 note and no more, it had been designed for Euros.

When I was in Italy last year I got a new black leather wallet, notes/cards and its the right size. Hopefully I'll get a good decade out of it at least.
