I am in the process of picking up a new wallet (probably a Filson) and am looking at what I have in this one to see what will stay and what will go. This made me wonder. There are a number of "what's in your pockets" threads here but no real "what's in your wallet" threads. Thought it would be interesting to post everything here. Anyone else want to?

Loose cash
Credit Card
ATM Card
Pistol Permits (Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine)
Connecticut Driving License
Connecticut Boating License
PADI Scuba Certification Card
Sea Tow Membership Card
Local library card
State library card
family photos
Spyderco Spydercard (yes, it fits and makes my wallet heavy)
Health insurance card
AAA membership card
Blockbuster video card
various receipts

I think that is about it. I've never been able to carry just cash on me and a license. Anyone else jam pack their wallets?

Albertson's Prefered Card
Couple of business cards

Gun Range Membership Card
Buckle Clothiers Discount Card
A couple of pieces of paper with notes on them
Cash on occasion
Initial D arcade card(what can I say, I'm a college student!)

I'm thinking about switching wallets to a smaller credit card type wallet. Trouble is, my current wallet is handmade leather, and I'd really like to go with another handmade in the U.S.A leather credit card wallet...and not something else. Going back to the leather shop I bought it at, isn't an option that's an 8-9 hour drive away!

I usually don't carry a wallet, just a card holder with a few folded bills, subway tickets, ID and some cards with notes, I don't carry credit cards or drivers license (I try to avoid driving in Mexico city), I do carry a large coin purse, I use change a lot in public transportation.

Other than the usual stuff, I always keep an expired or "advertising" type credit card (you know--the kind that you get in the mail w/ the number 1234 567 8910 on it) to get me into places that I don't have keys for--usually my own house when I've forgotten my keys!

(Anyone who's ever done this knows that difficult locks will chew the hell out of your card!)
