  I carry the George Costanza wallet. I keep business cards, discount cards, loyalty, etc. I also have corporate credit and personal debit cards. Last Christmas I got two wallets from family. They were nice leather wallets with plenty of pockets for all my junk. They are huge and I carry it in my front pocket as per suggestion of a relative who was a NYC detective. I won't give it up as I always have everything I need in it.

  Dont take the word out of context. Play is a way of saying cash to burn bars and etc.

  As stated above there's the super thin All-ET, made from spinnaker nylon (www.all-ett.com) and also the Might Wallet (www.dynomighty.com) which is made from Tyvek. I've had both and without changing the contents they reduce the size of your wallet dramatically. Plus the Might Wallet has some very cool designs!

  You must be from 'Murica if you refer to other countries' money as "play money". Just about every country, even in the Third World, has adopted colored bank notes. This is to help the visually impaired, and everyone else, to never make mistakes with cash.
  We understand that your country is slow in getting with the game on pretty much everything ... you know, things like ending slavery, the metric system, universal health care, etc.

  Coins are best kept in a 35mm film tub. Saves wear on the fabric of your pocket.

  I've had a wallet like that for nearly 20 years, so it's hardly a radical new design. If you can invent a way to keep it full of money, then I'd be interested.

  All they have done is make the petitions thinner, nothing innovative there. Also if its the same material just les of it to keep depth down then they won't be as durable. So whats the advantage?

  Looks nice. But no coins? - I prefer my coins in my wallet rather than having them fall around in my pocket. Problem is, while the Aussie notes are more durable than US, different sizes and colours, and a bit thinner, our coins are woefull. They are big and thick and bulky compared to US coins.

  Reinvents? I have a wallet with this design for now 10 years and it's a Bosca. Aussies do live in a different time zone afterall.

  Put cards in a wallet opposite ways up when next to each other.
  One right way up, one upside down and so on.
  That way the magnetic strips are more separated.

  Are people really so stupid - they put their wallet into their jean's back pocket?
  
  It is incredibly easy to pickpocket a wallet in a back pocket.
  
  I need someone to design a wallet so I can put cards next to each other without corrupting them. I'm constantly having to call my bank to replace cards due to corruption or static damage. Or maybe it's just my magnetic personality! lol :)

  The wallet I use is a nylon All-Ett. These are made from Spinnaker cloth which is the same material used to make parachutes and sailboat sails. It is paper thin and amazingly strong. Even with 2 dozen cards, a cache of currency and a week of business trip receipts it is still far thinner than most wallets. If style is more important than function they also make thin leather wallets but their nylon wallet is the thinnest and longest lasting choice.

  About eight percent of men are colour blind. About 2 percent of women also. Man's preference for black may be at play therefore - why have colour at all since I can't see it? But when you loose your black wallet, in a black briefcase with all the other black things, you'll realize the value of the contrast created by colour.

  I like the Ryan Crabtree's Crabby Wallet found on Kickstarter version much better. Why is this guy getting so much press? He is old news.

  They have slim wallets out already... "Big Skinny." Bigskinny.net
  I beat the hell out of wallets and the one I have not only has repelled any type of moisture (short of it being dunked into water), but it's held up to quite a bit of abuse. I carry a ton of stuff and the wallet STILL remains 1/2" thick, no more. Maybe 14 cards, 10 USD bills, a couple of coupons and it still has room. Standard bi-fold. Had it for at least 5 years.

  One issue to keep in mind is that Aussies use coins far more often than Americans do. I believe Australia is up to $2 coins at this point while Americans rarely see coin values above 25 cents (fifty cent and dollar coins are in circulation in the USA but relatively rare.)
  
  Coins, great for vending machines but a pain the hip in my American wallet.

  I use a slim biz card holder for my credit cards. Notes, I just fold them and put in my back pocket. Have been doing this for 2 decades. Any wallet that introduces more than 2 layers of non-content is NOT slim or minimalist.

  A wallet without need for change IS the future.
  
  Because it's the coins that are approaching their used-by date, not the wallet.
  
  PS: Would be a good wallet if it also blocked NFC - scamming credit cards is way easy.

  Does the shell have a metallic (maybe aluminized-mylar) lining?
  
  In the future typical credit cards may become less common with the advent of smartphone mediated transactions.
  
  But i think there'll still be lots of credit-card sized things you'd might want to carry like lenticular magnifying glasses, microSD card holders, LED flashlights and such, like a pocket toolkit.
  
  I live in the US and love the Aussie plastic bills - but by the time we'll get around to it in ten years the technology will have probably already leapfrogged to near field wireless using your smartphone and some sort of government issued smartcard for "cash"...

  Change purse. Without a change purse, this wallet is completely useless to me - where would I store my loonies, toonies and other loose change? In my pocket? Where it falls out into the crevices of my couch or onto the floor, or out on the pavement? The wallet makers are all stuck in the past - even this one - our cash today involves a whole lotta change and as fast as I give it away, I'm constantly losing it.

  If you come across some of that 'play money' again, please send it here. It buys more than that American dunny paper.

  I use a Dalvey leather card holder and money clip. Mine's looking the worse for wear after 8 years of use and abuse but it holds 10 cards (it's designed for 8 but stretches...) and some notes in a tiny, slimline package.

  Play money? It's Aussie money man. Hahahaha! I ditched my wallet 4 years back and use tin a card holder. If I'm hauling around a lot of bills I bring a magnetic money clip. I'll never return to a wallet again.

  Check out the URL for really thin wallets. I've got a couple of them and love them. I wouldn't use any others.
