SLG's - where do you carry coins?

[josiren]

I'm glad this thread came up. and so i know im not the only desperate user here. hahaha..
and yeah with all the downsizing of wallets and with cards so thick that even card holder can't fit..
i finally found a better solution to store my "downsized" wallet...
so, now am using the Mini O-case ( for Cash & Cards ONLY ) ( coins were in there too previously, but i always had to fish n dig for it. very frustrating ) and.... Hermes Bastia.. ( for coins ONLY ) .
This, for now atleast, is the perfect match. Bastia is awesome for coins. Especially when it all falls out nicely when you need to look for exact change. NO DIGGING for coins anymore! =))))

I like the Bastia for coins too... I also put folded cash in there so I can keep my Chanel wallets clean

Omg same thinking lol. My Chanel SLG never touches any money any currency. Bastia is the best for notes and coins. I don't carry lots of coins though.

Zippy coin purse

I have the LV zippy coin purse and I made a clear plastic sleeve to put my notes and coins in so they don't touch the SLG

I had never seen the Hermès Bastia before - it was exactly what I was looking for but just didn’t know it yet Pretty reasonably priced also!

I have a Hermes Dogon Duo Wallet that has a separate coin purse. I really love this wallet because when I use a smaller bag, I can slip cash, and credit card and id in the coin purse and leave the wallet at home.

right now i use a card holder and lv round coin purse, i also like using lv cles or chanel classic zipped key holder to carry cash+cards+coins all together.

I carry a LV Victorine wallet with Rose Ballerine interior as my everyday wallet. Because it has a small coin section, I also carry a LV Round Coin purse. I’ve gotten used to carrying my coins separately and prefer it; we have $1 and $2 coins in Canada so I do tend to carry quite a lot of loose change. I was recently on vacation in Japan (still a very cash based society) and I really missed not having access to a separate coin purse.

I recently bought this and it’s been perfect for coins, bills and cards!

Can you fit bills at the pocket flap without folding?

I saw this on chanel.com & was curious about it but it looks rather small. Can you fit bills, coins & additional cards in that zipper compartment?? Thx!

I would go with the zippy coin purse instead of two different items.

I have that zippy coin purse...just bought it and I don't put coins in it I do put my big ole car key in it as well as my cards....that way I don't have to take my purse in if I don't want to ...I can just grab the zippy coin...coins I just keep in my car and I did buy a Longchamp coin holder...like it but still just keep coins in my car in the center...

The pocket flap is only an additional place to hide a card.

It is smaller than a traditional wallet. I don’t tend to carry bills but if I did, it has to be folded. I bought this in hopes to help me simplify and only carry what I need, which includes carrying some coins for the parking meters.
