Sooo, the zip on my wallet is bust so I'm looking for a new one. Any ideas for something a bit different/special? It needs to have the usual card/notes storage, and also somewhere to keep loose change.

Here's a shot to show the kind of space required.

(And before you ask, yes, I am bored at work today).

I can't find my particular wallet, but I carry a Fossil tri-fold in my front pocket:

It's cheap, and works quite well for me, and looks like it should satisfy your storage requirements nicely.

Cheers guys, some nice looking wallets there. Most wallets seem to not have a coins pouch. Is it just us EU peeps who carry masses of coinage?

I don't usually carry coin with me, always use credit card.

Me too. Better tracking of purchases, fraud protection, frequent flyer miles, and no heavy jingling change - it works so much better for me this way.

How do you guys pay for really low value items in shops? Do you use plastic for everything? I think it's still kind of frowned upon to pay for something like a bag of crisps & a choc bar on plastic over here.

It's rare for shops around here to have minimum transaction amounts to take credit cards anymore. The only shops I can think of that still have them are some restaurants and really small mom/pop shops. The bigger guys all take credit cards for all transactions. It just seems to be something that the vast majority of consumers demand here.

Still wishing for something like Hong Kong's Octopus card here though...

does anyone have a discrete non leather option?

 

[pedalhead]

Not exactly discrete, but I like the look of these Ducti wallets.. http://www.ducti.com/original.html

I'm not paying someone to make a ducttape wallet, I can make one myself in an hour

my brother crochets and sells things, maybe I can get him to make a combo with that and duct tape?

Best wallet I've owned. Virtually invisible in my back pocket and it has never slipped out. I sometimes even carry coins in the bill pocket.
