My concealed carry permit.
It’s kind of sad, really, but I still sometimes makes me feel proud that my state trusts me*, since I grew up in a place where the ideal of the state trusting a citizen would be a totaly foreign concept.
*Well somewhat. They’ll let me carry a machinegun, but they won’t let me posess a joint.
I’ve got my drilling supervisor’s permit, a $2 bill and a Susan B Anthony coin.
Pretty dull really.
Well, don’t get used to it. By the time Ashcroft and Ridge and the rest get done, it’ll be just like the good ol’ days behind the iron curtain …
My wallet is in my “purse” but there’s really not anything interesting in that besides bank and credit cards, personal i.d., and a bunch of receipts.
If you had a pen fetish you might find the contents of the purse to be extremely interesting as there are 12 or 13 new and mostly vintage fountain pens riding in the pen pocket and a space pen rattling around there somewhere.
Oh… and there’s also an assortment of drugs. Prescribed of course.
A guitar pick from Our Lady Peace… I put it in there after I got it so I wouldn’t lose it but then I forgot about it.
the precious ring ala lotr
and an antique or old cigarette case that is some sort of metal with a goldish carved inlay of the cathedral in toledo spain which i use to hold my cards
The coolest thing in my wallet is the photo of my two beautiful kids…
I’ve got a bill stashed from each country I’ve successfully travelled through.
I’ve got halibut fisherman Tony DiMichelle’s business card. I just randomly bumped into the same guy each of the first three times I visited Alaska, each time in a completely different place, so I finally just went ahead and got his card.
i don’t carry a purse, but a quick look in my jacket pockets turned up: lipstick, movie tickets, 3 lighters, a pack of cigs, and a shotgun shell…don’t ask
I have 2 packs of allergy medicine, a huge bottle of Advil, a pack of Dayquil, a pocket knife. You wouldn’t believe how often people say “My allergies are driving me crazy” or “I have such a bad head ache” or “I wish I had something to open this with”.
All that stuff comes in really handy, and makes me look like Super-Breezy when I can say “Oh, I have just the thing for that in my purse.”
HMMM…Lemme see, ah yes, a 34 year old unused rubber (ever hopeful), and an EMT card that expired in 1980.
Can you tell that I don’t carry my wallet?
I have a piece of Vietnamese currency (Dong) so that I can get away with asking women if they want to see my dong. 
My coolest purse treasure is my deadly lipstick. It looks just like a tube of Lancome lipstick but when you twist it up you get a scary looking hooked blade instead. I have no idea how it will ever come in handy and I hope I never find out.
One zippered pocket of my purse holds all the cool favors and tokens I’ve received for doing neat stuff in the SCA.
Currently:
a little pie charm from Sarra
A belt favor from Princess Leyla
An elephant charm from Princess Elashava
A chinese coin from Princess Aramanthra (no, their names don’t all end in “a”)
A bell from Queen Fina (okay, maybe)
A silk rose from Queen Alys
Current favorite: a silver wire ring from Eliane.
Yes, they’re all from women.
Yes, I’m married.
I can’t help it that I’m a chick magnet.
However, given my luck (volcano and all), my best guess as to what the coolest thing found in my wallet will be, is: a winning Powerball ticket.
A picture of my mom that I took four days before she died - it’s how I’ll always remember her. Also a picture of her with my dad.
A picture of a little black pug puppy that I cut out of a magazine, just because it was adorable. So I can tell people, “I have a puppy in my wallet!”
My filled Frequent Buyers club card from Hot Topic - 15% off my next purchase, whoo! I would use it, but the one thing my wallet really lacks is actual money, so…
And a whole buttload of reciepts that I should really stick in my little file folder thingy. Think I’ll do that now, thanks for reminding me!
My driver’s license…
Ordinarily mundane but I just got it 2 weeks ago…
In my wallet I have my ID card from the National Institutes of Health showing my participation in the HIV vaccine study, with a toll-free number to call if they needed to find out if I got the live vaccine or a placebo in case of emergency. In my tote bag I have a cup& ball (you remember those wooden cups-on-a-stick with the ball attached by a string?) and a pocket freecell game in case I get bored.

My old wallet was a plastic Trolls monstrosity from 1992 and it contained all manner of awesome things, like a fake FBI identification card I made, X-Files cards, concert tickets, my Boy Scout ID card (cool because I’m a girl), school IDs dating back to 6th grade, Sanrio gift cards for three different Sanrio Surprises stores, and a large collection of school bus passes (lent out to the people I like to smuggle onto my bus). There were other cool things as well.
Early this year I decided my old wallet was too beat-up to survive for much longer, and decided to get a proper and respectable wallet. It has only the things that I need to keep in a wallet, like IDs and ATM card and such, which is a very sad thing.
However, I still do carry a “Get Out of Jail Free” card and a thousand or so dollars in Monopoly money, just in case.
Beatles ticket
Section EB Row 9 Seat 11
$5.00
I have a laminated penny that I squashed with the train at Opryland about 7 times when I worked there on the railroad. It’s about 2 inches in diameter.
