A Wallet for more than 1 coin?

[Tritous]

I travel between UK and Europe a fair amount and rather than deal with the constant swapping cards between 2 wallets I prefer a single wallet. Unfortunately my current wallet is on its way out and I need a replacement but it is getting hard to find a good one because my needs go against the usual fashion of ultra slim with many cards. What I need is:

• A segmented coin area so I can keep my euros and pounds separate (ideally similar to the one in the photo). There needs to be a decent coin capacity as several of my business trips are to a town which doesn't deal in plastic but cash.
• long slot for notes and receipts
• card slots for ~1.5cm of cards (I only need separate tabs for the few cards I use regularly, the rest can share)

Any help in finding a proper wallet like this would be welcome

I don't carry cash, so I can't make a recommendation. I would have thought, however, that Smythson or Ettinger, in London, could help you out.

what about commissioning a custom with the leather craftsmen here?

What you want is a...purse...not a man's wallet. Your choice is right for you. Many women would be happy with something like the one pictured.


Where on earth is there a town that does not accept cards these days? Seems quite odd to me.

I guess you don't shop at Aldi Food Markets?? HaHa!

No but not taking plastic is pre-historic at best. There again their merchandise is crap and so their customers may not even have cards.

Some of the smaller towns in Bavaria are still cash societies: it avoids the charges for being paid by card (it doesn't cost the buyer, it costs the seller), it avoids the issue that they are 20km+ from the nearest reliable internet connection for the card reader, it dodges a certain amount of tax, and it probably ends up them getting more tips. There are plenty of smaller shops in UK which also don't take card: again a dislike of the charges they would have to pay otherwise.

I'm not interested in the argument of why is men's fashion to be impractical vs women's. What I'm after is practical function first, durability second, aesthetics third.

Something I hadn't thought about. I'll take that as a final option but I'd rather see if there is a ready choice first

Used to have to travel quite regularly between the US, UK and continental Europe. Get a billfold from Smythson, which is big enough to carry pounds and has two compartments to keep pounds and euros separate. Then get two coin pouches for pounds and euros.
