What's in Your Billfold?
realian001 asks: "I have been through many different types of wallets...(those long wallets, tri-fold, bi-fold, money-clips, etc, etc). I finally settled on a bi-fold, but I was just curious, how does the average Slashdot reader 'configure' their wallet? A type of wallet would be a good starting point, then having cash or not, and/or how many different types of credit cards, grocery discount cards, etc etc etc."
reciepts... mainly so I don't feel bad when I pull it out and there's no money... booyah, it's still thick.
Or my favorite... changing a $20 bill into $1s just to pad my wallet.

Ducti
I got a Ducti wallet for x-mas and have loved it. It's been through the washer and dryer 4 or 5 times and still holds tight.
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.
My Wallet
Actually I owned one for about a year, and finally threw it out due to wear and tear a couple of months ago.
It peformed decent as far as wallets go; though I don't think I'll buy another one.
Still the coolness factor was very high, and I got a lot of positive comments about it.
A $20.00 tri-fold I picked up to replace it, has actually creased all my cards, some I am going to have to replace, so my next wallet will be a bi-fold.
I'd also like to know:
* Do you arrange your credit and other raised number cards alternately for a thinner package
* Where you walk late at night
* Coins in the wallet, pocket, or trash
* Account balances and CC limits
* Pictures, and of whom
I'm sure this information will help me become much more efficient in the use of your resources. Thanks!

You might want to be careful with that. I carried spare house and car keys in my wallet until a friend of mine had his stolen. I realized that you've got something in there showing your address (your license if nothing else). If you've got that and your keys, you lose your wallet, followed by your car, and then (if you carried a house key too) anything in your house that wasn't aniled down. I perpetually lock my keys in my truck, and I separated my car keys and building (home, work, etc) keys onto a separate rings, and put a spare car key on the house ring. Saved me a few times.
Sort of on topic... when I went overseas a few years ago, I took everything out of my wallet and photocopied it, front and back. I keep a copy at home now so if my wallet ever gets lost or stolen, it's amazingly easy to figure out what I lost and I have the phone numbers and account numbers without having to shuffle though old bills.
I don't do this for karma, I do it for cash. It's much better.
I am on my second one now. They last forever.
...I see.
No comment.
Here is an interesting concept to hold your cards: http://www.chameleonnetwork.com/ This product may be vapourware, but it sounds cool.
Don't blame me, I voted for Cthulhu.
