This is especially useful in places where coins are actually worth something. :D

Begging to differ. I do not like loose change in my pocket. Have always kept coins in my wallet. From the TUMI website selection of men's wallets:

Who would have thought? :eek: I don't like loose change in my pocket either, so I shed it at the first opportunity. Still, you learn something every day.

I started using the thing in college. I rarely had pockets and we had to have our ID cards to let us in and out of the dorm. I didn't want to carry it around my neck. So I went to the bookstore, where some kind soul had marketed a keychain with a small wallet attached to it. One side can hold a DL and a magnetic ID where the DL can be inspected without leaving the wallet, the other can hold cash and credit cards, and there's a little change purse. When it wore out, I was luckily near another university, whose bookstore also had one. (Now it looks like I went to NYU! hehehe) In the before-time, the long-long-ago, I would just drop my keys in the little bucket they had for you to put your change in, etc, go through the metal detector, then got it handed back to me. Now it does get x-rayed, but it's the first thing I grab when I see my bins come through on the other side. |
Even though I pass thro the screener gate thingy, I was asked to show my bulging item. Got my wallet checked with the security personnel running her fingers inside it. Done in my presence. So, can't really complained.
..and BTW, FliesWay2Much, you're a :-: :D ^. Obe of the few rare post. |

http://www.tumi.com/wallets_accessor...modelid=100750 and this one. I hate pocket change and here in the states I rarely, if ever, have any cash on me as I go about my daily routine. I use plastic for everything. But when abroad, some of the coinage is a bit more than just "pocket change" and builds up. 2 EUR coin here, 1 EUR coin there, and so on. Next thing I know I have 20 Euro's worth of coins in my pocket :D |

A while back, I had my wallet searched once. This was in DEN and was retaliatory because I made a screener change his gloves before he pawed through my briefcase looking for the offending item that triggered the briefcase search. The lead came over and was trying to be the Alpha Male with me. Read on. He lost.
The aggressive one (Lead) took my wallet out of my briefcase and started to carry it away to run through the x-ray. I said, "Wait a minute! There is no way on this green earth that my wallet is leaving my sight." So, said screener proceeds to paw through my wallet contents after he declares he will have to do a hand search. (FYI, I made HIM change his gloves before he handled my wallet, and I know that this annoyed the daylights out of him.) He "clears" my wallet and hands it back to me. I said, "Not so fast! Wait here while I count my money." He stops in his tracks. I guess he had never had a passenger be so aggressive towards him.

I might even have been ok with this.....but like I said, it was done out of my sight.
