      can't see putting coins in a wallet, unless you euros are confusing wallet with purse.

      only women and europeans carry purses.

        They make men's wallets with small pockets for coins. Here's a nice example. They're not a bad idea, but having a place for coins reduces the number of card slots, and I carry a bunch of cards, so they're not for me.

          Coins in the front, paper in the back, cards, ID etc in the inside pocket of coat.

            All my small change goes pretty much the same way. My big change however (0.5€, 1€ and 2€ coins) are always used. These coins are infinitely more convenient than bills for such small amounts.

            Personally, I'd like the 5€ bill to be turned into a coin as well. It's too commonly used for a bill.

              In some countries, green symbolizes nature, or hope

                Don't you think we've got enough coins as it is, Spif?

                  Money gives me hope. And bills are made of trees (or cotton?), so it kinda represents nature too.

                    We've got too much small change crap (1 cent, 5 cents).

                    But the big coins are fine as is. And to me, 5€ bills are definitely unconvenient

                        I found it on their men's wallets page. They have excellent belts for men, too.

                          I bet the number of Americans with mini-manpurses in their wallets is vanishingly small. I use a money clip myself.

                          I think we should have a paper bill quarter-dollar.
                          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                            I'de actually like that. I hate all the prices that end in 99 cents. Wht the hell do that do that anyway, are people that unobservant to as to think it's a dollar cheaper then it actually is?

                              Actually... yes.
