Actual Irrational Hatred (for the whingers)
I hate when people put coins in a wallet.

Its no longer a wallet, its a change purse now....accept it.

Wallets are for cards, paper money and sometimes stickers. Generally a "lucky" or old coin is allowed. Any more than that and its a purse.

its ok though if you're a girl/gay

NO!
WRONG!
A wallet without a space for coins is the province of bourgeois pig-dogs! People who never get change from the bus! People who drive to work in gold-plated cadillacs upholstered with orphan-skin and cooled by the tears of the innocent!
Pigs and traitors, to a man.

But coins in the back pocket hurt your bum...
...and that's my confessor's job.

i do it
I confess.

Though it's mainly because I've got holes in my pockets and I'm too lazy to stitch them up or buy new ones.

From the wholesaler, of course

but my wallet is clearly a wallet
and yet it has a compartment for change.

this is for show
or for the "lucky" coins you may have, certainly not for spends

So where do the coins go?
If I wanted to be a true man, and ditch my wallet-with-coin-pocket-purse-thing and use a manly man style wallet, where do I put the coins?

If I put them in my pockets then they get lost amongst the other stuff my pockets contain, and clatter against the phone, mp3 player and so on in a bad screen scratching way, while the only empty pockets are empty for a reason (ie things falling out or being uncomfortable to sit on). When I have my wallet I put the coins in the pocket for holding coins, stick the wallet in my pocket and that holds everything together and stops it all rattling around and being annoying.

Alternatively, I ignore the opinions of someone I am never going to meet on how manly my 'wallet' is which nobody else has ever cared about, and get on with life.

Points off for using an old man coin purse though.

compartmentalise
left front - phone
right front - keys/chewing gum

left back - coins
left right - wallet

simples.

if you have too many coins its uncomfortable to sit down, spend some.
if you lose money to sofa's buy jeans with deeper pockets.

if you dont care, dont post :-)

ahem
left front - phone
right front - wallet/coins
coat front - keys
right back - comb
left back - random crap you haven't sorted out yet.

Wallets should never live in the back pocket. It's just wrong.

Most days my hubby,
who keeps his coins in the zippy bit of he wallet, stops off at a coffee shop for a coffee on the way home.
Every time he sits on the only sofa in the place, and nearly every time he retrieves abut £2 that has fallen out of mens pockets and gone down the side of the sofa.
