    It is a money clip and a CC holder... prevents RF thievery too....Cheers, RickO

    I imagine quite a few of us might have some that were received as gifts from well meaning non-coin collectors.

    Some of the ones with a Morgan or Silver Kennedy tend to sell fairly well on eBay (at least better than the coin itself that is usually used).

    @U1chicago I have a cowboy looking belt buckle that would take a half dollar coin. Never used. Perhaps I should put a Walker in it and try that on eBay.

    I'd say it's worth a try. A common date circulated Walker will likely work well.

    I use one.

    I gave up on wallets. My phone case carries ID's and CC's. Bills go in the money clip which also has a sharp knife. I have to remember to leave it home when I fly.

    I rarely use money. It's a rare place that doesn't take a credit card.

    Not anymore. Being married with 2 daughters, cash is hard to come by.

    Money clip (bought $15 on bay) w lots of Bens, a few smaller bills to make change, fake gold eagle on clip (for weight). Strictly cash and carry. When make offer from my table at show them the green, hand it to them while taking coin(s) / banknotes works like a charm, especially with the ladies.

    Was at a theme park with a newbie (I was showing him how to navigate the parks before his daughter showed up), and his ticket would intermittently go mysteriously bad the first couple of days.

    Turns out he had this magnetic money clip. (Used a magnet instead of a spring clip.) The clip would scramble the mag strip on the back of the ticket. You would think... But no, he didn't.

    I rarely have enough cash to warrant needing a clip, but when I do, I have this giant paper clip that's always worked. :)

  • MasonGMasonG Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Money clip. Cash in a front pocket is more secure than in a back pocket. And a wallet in front is awkward. ;)

    Oh ha, yeah a Carson city one would be sweet! Credit card unfortunately for CC, nothing fancy, ha!

    A rear pocket wallet was causing back issues. I now use a front pocket credit card and money fold wallet and it works very well for me. I still have a few money clips with coins on them but do not use them anymore.

    But I still like numismatic oriented things like my Orvis belt with embedded buffalo nickels and one day would like to own this Corum watch to wear to coins shows.......

    I hope you're kidding. Binder clips have sharp edges that'll wear a hole in your pocket.

    Front pocket RFID wallet that has a money clip and I carry a little cash but not much. I have a separate bank acct for myself that's not our main acct used for bills. I don't carry my debit card for my acct or our main acct. I carry an Apple credit card for all my daily transactions like food and gas and pay it every pay day.

    Driver license, one credit card, cash, thick rubber band from produce, front pocket. No need to carry more on the regular, especially useless bulk.

    Other cards and stuff are in a wallet,
    and it's around here somewhere ... 😉

    I hate carrying stuff in my pockets so it is cash only no wallet or clip. I leave my wallet in my truck always :o:o:o

  • SONOMOSCASONOMOSCA Posts: 423 ✭✭✭

    My choice of rubber bands are from asparagus, only difference is I prefer the bulk so I know where it is at all times.
    It tends to grow throughout the year. I believe It's due for It's annual cleaning soon.

    Money clips don’t work for me because I always have too big a wad of cash. LOL.
