It's interesting that so many people carry something in their pockets. I never really have as I think I'm too worried that I'm going to misplace it fairly quickly. Over the past couple of months, I haven't even been wearing my wedding ring as I'm constantly seeing my wife around the house.

I have a 1991 Candian Penny that I keep in my wallet (birth penny), and an 1875A French 5 Franc turned into a multi-tool swiss army type knife / keychain (with my keys on) in my left pocket. Some guy saw the keychain when I was at Heathrow security one time and tried to buy it off me - was absolutely not for sale!

2015 and 2016 1p's, a 2005 2p, 1996 5p and 2006 20p. They've all been there for some time as almost all my shopping over the last 2 months has been paid for with my debit card!

Don't carry a pocket piece anymore. I carried an old British Penny back in high school. Now-a-days, I just carry my loop.


Always ready to examine at a moments notice.

Keys and handkerchief only in my pocket.
I have never carried cards (except for ID only), in either pocket or wallet.

Used to carry a carded .925 sterling silver Florin in a flip in my wallet, but it took up too much room; it was quite a useful conversation starter. Sometimes, I will carry a small ancient bronze low value bronze coin, for the same purpose, but it is easier to carry a picture of a chosen coin on your 'phone.

Cash notes only up to about $200, in my wallet. If you cash budget on a daily basis, you have 100% control on your spending / buying habits. Must have saved $ thousands over the last 20 years.
Coins only, in amounts of up to $50 in each of my cars. I take a small random selection of these out of the car, before shopping. $2 coins get accumulated, until there is enough to pay for gas.

I am too much of a blokey male to bother with a manbag.

I normally keep two of each Australian denomination in my pocket in case I ever need to swap someone for a coin.
Rest in Peace

In my left front pocket an 1883-O Morgan, 1941 WLH, 1928-S SLQ, 1939 Merc, 1928 Buffalo and an 1898 Indian cent every time I leave the house which is not very often anymore. I've been working from my home office since April...
Rest in Peace
