Leder-Portemonnaie mit oder ohne Münzfach

In times when we can pay conveniently with a card or mobile phone in many places, cash is becoming less and less important. Mini wallets are trendy . But is a wallet without a coin compartment really practical? First of all, the question is what is important to you in a wallet, because - like so many things - it is a matter of taste.

So you should first ask yourself what type of payment you prefer and how often you actually need coins. Women in particular also like to use the coin compartment to store other small valuables, such as jewelry, hair clips or small talismans. A playful detail in some coin compartments, which goes back to a superstition, is a small, separate compartment for that one lucky cent, which promises that the wallet will never be completely empty.

A lot of change can quickly make our wallet seem very full. The bigger the compartment, the more we tend to accumulate change. We pay with notes over and over again and the change compartment fills up and fills up. The wallet becomes heavy and shapeless, it no longer fits in the jacket or back pocket or weighs down the handbag uncomfortably. The coins with their sharp edges are also a significant challenge for the wallet itself: If you overuse the coin compartment with a lot of change, you risk even high-quality wallets bulging over time or the seams opening up.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, digitalisation has also been pushed forward in payment methods. For hygiene reasons, customers were often asked to pay cashlessly in order to minimise the risk of infection. Many shops and restaurants not only digitalised their menus and range of products, but also introduced cashless payment methods that made cash and coins superfluous. Even bus tickets and parking tickets can now usually be bought conveniently and sometimes even at a reduced price via an app.
