This wallet has, attached at the top, a thick sheaf of what
looks like money, with each side of the sheath looking like
the top of a 100 dollar bill. It also has what, at a glance, looks
like a black credit card. Made of high quality leather. Use
when buying drinks at bars, when on a date, or
any other
time.

I thought this would be a wallet stocked with bad counterfiet money to discourage muggers, but this idea has merit. [+] |

|

High quality imitation leather, I hope? |

A "Michigan Bankroll" is a big roll of one-dollar bills with a hundred-dollar bill on the outside. |
|

Makes you wonder what a Wisconsin Bankroll would be. |

A hunk of cheese wrapped in one dollar bills,
perhaps. |

don't you have pickpockets where you live, [voice]? |

How quaint, that some countries in the world have all their different denomination banknotes the same size and shape and colour! |

One doesn't. One's equerry takes care of such mundane matters as carrying the small change. |
|
| |
Yes obviously, but that makes it very awkward when you
want to tip your equerry. |

what [po] said! it's quite dangerous to appear rich in some places!

If these came into general use, the opposite effect could work - i.e. pulling out a wallet stuffed fat with £50 notes would not raise an eyebrow, as everyone would assume it was a fake one like they all have in their own bulging back pockets. |

What if they have bulging front pockets ? |
|
| |
...then they're just glad to see you. |
