Do you Prefer a Wallet with a Coin Pocket or Without?


When it comes to choosing a leather wallet, there is divided opinion amongst men if they require a coin pocket or not. Several designer brands believe that men would choose a wallet without a coin pocket, whilst a woman buying a gift would choose one with.

Traditionally the classic leather billfold wallet features two folding note compartments with two rows of credit card slots. The coin wallet does away with one side of credit card slots and replaces it with a coin pouch. A coin pouch is a really useful way of keeping your notes and coins altogether in one place, but for some men adds too much bulk. A wallet full of coins will make it look cumbersome, and the extra weight will not help the structure of the wallet. On the other hand, if the wallet doesn’t have a coin pocket, it tends to remain loose in the pocket which some may find annoying.

Wallets without a coin pocket remain slimline and crisp, ideal for sliding into a suit jacket pocket unnoticed. I have recently swapped my billfold coin wallet for one without. I prefer not having to dig around inside a coin purse for the right change, but miss a secure place to keep my coins. What do you prefer?
