In Search of a Minimalist Wallet that Carries Coins

Reading time: 1 min

For years, I've been looking for better wallet designs.

One that is small, slim, and carries both cards AND cash (including coins).

Many of the modern, slimmer wallet designs in the recent years are either:

• Card holder boxes with a cash clip (does not carry coins and the banknotes are on the outside*)
• Card holder with soft material (does not carry coins)
• No zipper or secured compartment (so coins fall out)

I previously did some Googling to find out how people who choose to use these wallets carry their cash, coins in particular.

The answer was generally "just put it in your pocket*".

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of carrying a wallet?

To have a designated container... and then put it outside of the designated container.

I'm currently using one that's quite small (just larger than a card) and consists of a main zipper compartment for banknotes and important cards, a small zipper compartment on one side for coins, and a slot for quick-access cards on the other side.

I've yet to find a better (slimmer, smaller) one. If someone knows of a solution, please do leave a message on the Guestbook, I'd love to check it out.

*Cash is microbiologically disgusting, thank you. I'd prefer to keep it inside my wallet as opposed to outside, such that I'm not touching it constantly and/or rubbing it on my clothing.

I've been drafting a lot of posts about ways of thinking, psychology, and statistics. Completely unpolished brain dumps. Might work on posting those.
