ABSTRACT:
A combination wallet and billfold includes generally rectangular front and back planar wallet members joined along a bottom side and along two lateral sides. At least one of the front and back wallet members has an outside surface defining a currency face. The top side of the wallet members are un-joined to define a pocket between the wallet members where the pocket is configured to receive credit cards and similarly-sized documents. A U-shaped clip is secured to the currency face and is configured to secure paper currency to the currency face. The clip includes first and second generally converging leg portions connected to each other by a connecting portion urging the leg portions toward each other under compressive tension. A retaining strap has a first end joined to one of the lateral sides while a second end extends toward the other lateral side. The wallet includes a fastening means to releasably secure the second end of the retaining strap to the lateral sides so that the paper currency secured to the currency face by the clip is further compressed and secured against the currency face by the retaining strap.
