Money clips are a fashionable, minimalist way to store your cash and cards, but what’s the best way to organize and fold everything so it all fits? Folding money for a clip is a breeze, and you can customize what you include and how you arrange it to suit your needs. We’ve put together a nifty guide to folding money for a money clip so you can pay cash quickly and with flair. If you’re ready to hit the town without a bulky wallet, read on!
Things You Should Know
- Stack your dollar bills with your biggest denominations on bottom and your singles on top. Fold the stack in half to slide it into the clip.
- Include your ID, driver’s license, and main credit card. Slide your cards into the center of your folded money stack or clip them outside the stack.
- Money clips are slimmer than wallets, so keep it in whichever pocket or bag you prefer (even front pants pockets or inside of a blazer).

Staff AnswerHow.com.vn Staff EditorStaff AnswerMost clips will fit at least a dozen folded bills (clips attached to the outside of wallets might hold fewer). Aim to carry a mix of denominations including several singles for everyday small purchases. If you carry larger denominations, you can carry more money with fewer bills.
Tips
- If you’re not comfortable adjusting the tightness of your metal money clip yourself, take it to a metalsmith or silversmith for adjustments.[12]Thanks
- Money clips, especially metal ones, will last for years if not indefinitely when they’re kept in good condition.[13]Thanks
- Fold money for magnetic money clips the same way you would for a standard metal one.Thanks
Warnings
- Placing large bills on the outside of the clip might draw the attention of potential pickpockets. If you’re concerned, put a few singles on the outside so it looks less conspicuous.[14]Thanks
- Magnetic money clips might scramble the strip on your credit cards after prolonged exposure, so aim to use them for cash only.[15]Thanks
