I always keep around $40 billion dollars or more. OK – it’s 4 or 5 bills from Zimbabwe but still it’s $40,000,000,000.00.
That and way too many club and amusement park IDs. Waldameer, Kennywood, AMA, Sunset Riders, AARP, AAA, History Center. My wallet is so fat with ID cards that there is no room basically for money.
Darn – I knew I should have read down more before hitting submit. 
Just really really really pale. 
The only non-standard thing I keep is my medic certification card. It’s not EMT. It’s whatever is one level below that. I haven’t had to use my skills outside of work, and this is a Good Samaritan state, but I carry it just in case.
Sorry — my brain isn’t awake quite yet. From last weeks:
I sooooooo want to go back there. They have a new thing called Diggerland XL for adults. Basically you get an hour or three alone in one of the machines to go nucking futs around a course/area just digging and knocking things around to your hearts depths. Even playing Backhoe Basketball and trying other semi-stunts. It’s expensive ($100 to $300 or so) but worth every freaking penny.
If I was closer by say two hours I would have a season pass and be so broke!
I dunno if it’s particularly weird, but I keep a hand-written card with all my upcoming appointments - hair, medical, dentist, meeting friends/family for lunch, when my next vacation is… - stuck in my wallet. I update it once a week, and it’s the best way I have to keep that sort of thing in mind. I have yet to find an online/phone-based method that I remember to check.
I also think I’m one of the few people around here who does NOT carry their SS card around with them, although I do carry my voter reg card. I work at the library, so I get to be nosy about other people’s wallet contents pretty much daily. What I find amusing is how many people find an excuse to show me their CCP instead of their driver’s license as their “proof of ID” to access their library card account. I think they think they’re proving a point, but it’s a county building; it’s specifically prohibited by law. AND it’s posted no carry, AND we verbally ask people not to carry when they first sign up for their card. I don’t even react any longer, but it makes a few of my Clerks nervous.
(Thus starts week three of driving a stick, and I can feel that it’s going so much better. It’s a real blast to drive, and I’ve taken it on an interstate trip and felt pretty safe and confident about it. There’s only a couple of places around town that I’ve learned to fear/hate - unfortunately, one of them is right next to where I work. :mad:
Apart from the usual cash, ID and credit cards, I have an emergency contacts card. It has names and phone numbers for my wife and other family members. The top of the card has “EMERGENCY CONTACTS” in large font, and the card is long enough so that that part sticks out of its slot in the wallet and will catch the attention of anyone looking in my wallet after I’ve been incapacitated for some reason. I printed the card myself and then took it to FedEx/Kinko’s to laminate it; they have lamination pouches that are perfectly sized for this.
Much-needed lunch break. Leftover veggie-beef soup from yesterday - very yum!!
I have one more small part to model for this manifold, then I’ll build the assembly model. Then I’ll need to find my boss for more work.
This thread has made me realize that it’s time, again, to clean out my wallet. Way too many receipts and miscellany have accumulated.
Out in northern Callyfornie is a railroad museum that lets you rent a short train and run it with supervision on their tracks. I’ll see y’all there. 
The only odd thing I have is my high school student body card. From 1978.
It does prove that I have never lost my wallet.
I just detrashed my wallet a few days ago.
This past week was eventful. My sister visited from Nevada. We took her to Steak 'n Shake (she was nostalgic for Indiana, where we grew up); then to “Zootopia”, and to UNO pizza for dinner.
On Saturday we took her to the Suffolk Cultural Arts Center to see “Married to Broadway”, a great five-person act singing showtunes from “Les Miz” all the way to “Avenue Q”. We had to get a hotel that night because Dominion was replacing some transformers in the middle of the night and Mom needs her sleep machine. So we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, which was very comfy. Went to church in the morning and introduced Laura to some of my friends, including my sorta-gf.
Laura’s back with Grandpa today, and will be flying back to Nevada tomorrow morning. On the days we didn’t have her, she did fun stuff with Grandpa. Vacation time well-spent.
Interesting OP!
Unfortunately I don’t have anything dramatic in my wallet. I clean it out almost every day. I mainly have useful discount cards, credit cards, license, and my buy 8 get one free card for threading. A lunch coupon for Nirvana restaurant, my CVS card, health care card, and that’s about it.
I can’t say as I carry anything truly interesting in my billfold. I do have to wonder though about the pictures. I’m trying to recall how long it’s been since I’ve carried them there. Probably fifteen years at least.
Today is just another Stormy Monday. Allman Brothers / Stormy Monday - YouTube
**Red **- you made me look at the photos I’m carrying. The most recent are from 2008 - shortly before our daughter’s short-lived marriage. The oldest is from between 1979 and 1983. It was taken in the house my folks bought in '79, but before I married in '83 - I was home on leave and we had a family photo done - my youngest sis was still in high school.
Dammit! I did it again! I knew it’s Monday, but I didn’t bother to look for a new MMP - I just blurfed in the old one this morning. :smack:

My boss is still in a meeting. I finished what he’d left me to do about 2 hours ago. I have no idea where to file it. In fact, as I dug around, I find there’s no obvious connection between project numbers and project names. In one data base, it’s by number, in another, by aircraft with abbreviations that I don’t understand. Not a very good system at all…
And I’m outta here in 15 minutes or so. It’s turning into the last job all over again.
The contents of my wallet answer the title of the thread. The 2 credit cards I carry are American Express, and Capital One. I can’t remember which one answers the question. I also carry the usual driver’s license, my liberry card, a punch card from the local gourmet popcorn place (got a free bag Sattiday and have 2 punches out of 10 towards my next bag). Also carry my health insurance card. I bought my wallet used off eBay and a stub from a Hyatt hotel is stuck in the coin purse. Can’t take it off without removing the leather. I guess that’s unusual.
Where? Where, where, where, where, where, where, WHERE?! I must know!!
I don’t usually do the mmp , but I felt compelled to reply. I have my Great-Grandmother’s Ontario Seniors Privilege card, issued in the late 1960s. It has a picture of Queen’s Park on the front, as well as her name and a low ish number. (5 digit) It’s provenance is easy enough, my grandmother kept her mother’s things, my dad kept his mother’s things. I have the same first name as my great grandmother so I kept the card.
Otherwise, bank cards for me and my son, various forms of ID and currently 9 dollars. And a “funny nickle” aka a 12 sided nickle, which I keep not because I collect coins but I like it. A good friend, (deceased when we were teens) was superstitious about “funny nickles” so I usually hang on to one whenever I find one.
My wallet itself? Red leather, made by Roots. Checkbook sized. I am superstitious (or practical) about wallets. They must not be a dark colour. I once reported a wallet lost but it had merely fallen into a deep part of my trunk next to the spare tire.
I have hundreds of pics in my wallet, all of them in my phone. I couldn’t tell you the last time I carried a wallet that had a place for pics.
Went to irk, then took a nap. Now I have to make something with the ground beef in the fridge. Probably just a couple of hamburgers for dinner.
I haven’t gotten very far down my to do list today.
The only thing not ID, credit card or money-related in my wallet is an RFID card used to open the door to my office building. It’s as thick as two or three credit cards, but the same length and width, and because it’s RF (radio frequency) it scans just fine while it’s still in my wallet. (In fact, I’ve seen some women at this building waving their whole purse in front of the scanner, which looks a little funny if you don’t know why.)
