I was digging in a drawer and found a metal clip.
It’s a flat folded over piece of metal with a decorative thingy on front.
A money clip.
Now, I don’t carry much cash, ever. A few dollars, at most.
I cannot get the bills to slide in the clip either singly or in groups.
Is there a secret? Or is my clip a piece of junk?
Some of them are very very tight. So tight it’s hard to slide a bill in there. Some use or some gentle prying can loosen up the clamping force.
It’s clearly intended for a tightwad. Once you get a bill or two in there, it’ll STAY there.
Very 
funny!
Yep. That would do it.
I’m now concerned if I get money in, will it come out, in one piece.
It is his money clip:
Find yourself some gamma radiation and you should be sorted with this.
ETA:
It’s still money. I saw a documentary that showed some treasury group putting money back together from fires and whatnot and giving people their money back if they could figure it out. So, while a hassle, you could still probably get your damaged money replaced. Try it with $1 first though…see what happens.
You could jam an expired credit card in there. Leave it for a few days. Then jam another in.
Gently springing open the metal clip may do the trick.
I’ve got a clip that was a gift from the LAPD after I trained some of their folks. Had it for more than 30 years. Periodically I need to squeeze the steel clip tighter, or it slides off of less than…about 5 folded over bills.
I will try this. Thx
If you don’t have any old CCs, a small flat-head screwdriver works too. Slide it in there end-on, with the screwdriver blade point aimed towards the fold of the clip. Leave it awhile then shove it in a little farther.
Hey, this is working. Thank you
