**Moderator’s Note:** Cafe Society is for “art, drama, literature, movies, music, comics, cuisine”; unless you’re a counterfeiter, the cash in your wallet doesn’t really represent a “creative activity” on your part. Our forum for polls is In My Humble Opinion, so I’ll move this thread there for you. ---

I don’t have a wallet, and rarely carry around cash. In my home right now is perhaps 40 SEK in bills, a couple of hundred more in assorted coins, plus 10 euros and 10 British pounds that I haven’t gotten around to exchanging back. ---

What’s the deal with carrying so much cash? I got $25 in cash in my wallet which is more than normal. Unless I’m going to the bars - then I might take $100 in cash with me. I generally use my debit card on everything I buy. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-much-cash-is-in-your-wallet/383196.md?page=2)
