Frequently Asked Questions
Can you put cards in a money clip?
Yes, but you need to be careful. Money clips made of aluminum, titanium, or steel can scratch the outside card where the clip touches. Most money clip wallets have a better place for cards inside the wallet. The money clip is either inside or outside for cash. A good example is the Ekster Senate smart wallet.
Will money clips damage credit cards?
Metal money clips can scratch and damage cards. A workaround is to insert your cards between cash bills in the clip to protect them. If you have a choice, choose a a soft money strap over a rigid money clip. Magnetic money clips (like the Fossil Quinn) are often covered in supple leather and are much more card friendly.
How much money can a money clip hold?
Most money clips can hold at least ten bills, but it’s worth taking a look at the clip’s specifications to verify the capacity. From a minimalist’s point of view, it’s better to carry two $20 bills than twenty $1 bills. If you’re someone who likes to carry a lot of cash, you might consider a more traditional bifold. Example: Travando Phoenix.
