He’s in South Carolina. Maybe it’s just a thick shirt 
This doesn’t have prices, but perhaps this is the puffy coat of which he speaks?
$122 in bills. $1.42 in coins. Two buttons and a peppermint lifesaver.
$200 in 20’s
$30 in 10’s
$5 in 5’s
I have no idea why i have $235 on me, or where it came from. I’m really perplexed, since I rarely carry more than about $50. I’m not complaining, however. 
That’s a spring and fall coat. 
She just moved to SC a year ago from Michigan after 35 winters, where we know from winter coats. The link for sears.ca shows me a poofy coat, albeit a good quality, well made down-filled one. The cheapies I saw at Steve & Barry’s (in WestbyGodVirginia) last month were poly-fill and ‘Hecho en Mexico’. If I was strapped and needed a winter coat, I’d pick one up and layer like a mofo underneath. Beats 200$ hands down when you don’t have it spare, and I’ve been there and done that.
I now have a secondhand down parka which I got the year before I moved down here; on the odd chance I need to wear it, I get stares from the locals who are happy to shiver in flip flops year 'round.
Hey, the hood makes it a parka, right? No hood, not a parka?
Hey, yeah, that’s the money you were holding for me. I’ll take it back now, if you don’t mind.
$23
Linguistic hijack: “‘from’ winter coats”? In this phrase, I would say “‘about’ winter coats”. I’ve seen this usage before on the boards… where does it come from?
My parka is secondhand, as well. I was happy to accept it. Those things are expensive.
The hood is mandatory, yes. Parka: hood, lining, really thick shell, interior cuffs at the trists and drawstring around the waist to keep the breezes out, long enough to cover the bum, etc. The traditional parka has wolf fur around the hood opening, as this is the only fur that moisture does not condense on. Then you won’t ice up your hood opening from breath moisture on cold days.
If we are dealing with cold and intense blowing snow and a parka won’t do, we get a snowmobile suit (think parka all over, legs and everything). Most people in the cities do not have snowmobile suits, unless they go snowmobiling.
About $85 (US). I think my average would be $50, since I get $100 every 10 days or so and get to zero before going back for more.
You mean, how did it come about? 
Dunno, just the way I heard it growing up in the North.
What you describe as a snowmobiling suit I grew up knowing as just a snowsuit. You’d wear it when you had to be outside for any length of time, playing, shoveling, waiting for the bus, etc.
The more I think about, my down coat is a jacket length and the hood’s polyester and single layer, so I guess I don’t have a parka, per se.
And to get back on topic, I have no more money in my wallet than I did this morning as I haven’t left the house.
peeks in wallet
$1.25. Bus fare.
Oh, and back to the OP: a wallet update.
In the wallet: $15 Canadian, and a new bus pass. In the change pouch: 2 toonies, 3 loonies, 17 quarters, 7 dimes, 7 nickels, 6 pennies ($12.36). And one subway token. 
Enough change for lunch and three loads of laundry.
Just under $100.
I usually carry between $40-200 cash.
I have kids with me a lot of the time, and I can’t be caught short in an emergency.
$12, all in singles…
$694. Also a debit card, but no credit cards.
I operate on a mostly cash basis and use an envelope system. I haven’t bought clothing or dined out in awhile, so there’s a bit of a surplus.
I know cash is rare these days, but we do much better controlling spending this way. And we live in an extremely low crime area, so I don’t really worry about being mugged. I suppose it could happen, but I worry more about getting stuck in a snowdrift.
I have no cash in my wallet.
I’ve got about eight bucks in my money clip.
Tripler
And I’ve got a gallon jug Budweiser bottle full ‘o’ coins I’m gonna take to the Coinstar.
$190 in bills (I’m going Christmas shopping this weekend) and… hang on… hey, cool, an American quarter… 2.21 in change. I’m on Easy Street, baby.
Right now, I’ve got $38.
$0.37
When I get home, my quarters and loonies go in my laundry fund and I pretty much use my debit card for everything anyway.
