Nice Wallet With Change Compartment

[Popinjay]

I need a nice wallet that has a zippable change compartment, any recommends? I am not using change at all right now, I suspect it is costing me a lot.

?? Do you throw your change away?

Anyway, change in a wallet makes an already too bulky item (even without cash) even more bulky. Throw the small change in giant coffee cans like the rest of us. Every few years dump out the change, take out the quarters you overlooked and bring the rest to one of those change machines in supermarkets where they charge seven percent or so to convert it to cash. Meanwhile keep a small leather bag for some big change (i.e. quarters and dimes) in your car for parking, etc.

BTW, government should legislate that pennies will no longer be made and not be used for cash transactions. In other words we should round off cash transactions (e.g., $1.07 becomes $1.05; $1.23 becomes $1.25). A few years ago I read where business and government would save something like three hundred million dollars per year or so. Probably not enough to be worth it at today's prices [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

PS Don't know much about wallets. Got enough from my dear departed Grandma for Christmas to last until I'm dearly departed.

Use a credit or debit card for everything. I rarely ever have cash, and if it turns into change it is most certainly lost.

I use a money clip with my drivers license, credit card, and debit card.

How are you ending up with so much change that you want to start carrying a purse?

[Popinjay]

I just stick it in my pocket and eventually it falls out or I take it out and leave it sitting in my room some where.

eve though this isn't answering your question, I agree with Rick, because I do the same thing.

This is the way to go. About a year ago, I had large cup of change from emptying the change from my pockets everyday. I also had a bag of change from when I had emptied my previous
"change cup". I went to the grocery store and started dumping it into the machine, when I was done my ticket was for $248. I didn't realize it would be that much.

Funny thing was, once I got over about $150, people were stopping and watching. Little kids were pointing and asking their mom how "that man" got so much change. I felt like the guy playing high stakes blackjack, where people will stop and watch.

Someone needs to make this happen.

If you are a guy the answer is: No such thing. Men can't carry that. Sorry. We will never become so liberated that a guy can pack a change purse.

Worked one summer in Las vegas and had a bunch of change in a can because I mostly used cash for things. Somebody at the office pointed out that the only casino around with penny slots was the Western. So one day ofter work we strolled in and I proudly brought my can to the cage at the Western. I think I had the biggest bankroll in the joint once I got my $178 or whatever. We left and drank it up elsewhere. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

not asking for a change purse, my friend has a nice dual compartment wallet that has a zippered section right next to the bill compartment. anyway, it's not the nicest looking wallet out there, j/w if anyone out there knows a good wallet to buy that can carry change. using solely plastic is out of the question, i have small purchases here and there too often.

Your wallet is going to be fat. Your pants are going to look funny. If you refuse to get a credit card, you must have a checking account. Get a check card. I can't imagine what small purchases you frequently have to make that can't be purchased with a check card.

wallets are for pussies.

Those of us in the know, use THIS

I also stopped using the penny about a year ago. I dont accept them in change, and if I do get them, I just toss them out in the parking lot. And I gotta say, my life has been very much improved.
