This works perfectly for what I wanted it for. Standard CC’s fit in and out the larger compartment perfectly! Love the color too! Very vibrant and easy to find if it falls to the bottom of a bag.

Perfect size for minimal carrying!

Love this wallet! If you like just the essentials in your pocket, this piece is for you! It holds several credit cards, my ID in the front window, and a side zip for cash. I like being hands free, so this is the only wallet I will carry.
Pros
  • Small size, washable fabric.
Cons
  • This is my second one. After several years of use, the plastic window tore.
  • 1. Color change-i liked the old, richer red better than "lipstick red". 2. The zipper pulls in the old model were more beefy. These feel flimsy and small.

Money Penny Coin Holder is PERFECT
August 5, 2022
I typically carry a very small purse; the kind you can hook onto the belt loop of my pants (a hip purse). This money holder is perfect to carry my ID, credit card, cash, and a few coins, and not take up a ton of space in my little purses.
Pros
  • compact
  • holds more than you think

Didn’t measure up
February 18, 2022
This is the first time I’ve been disappointed with a Big Skinny wallet. My husband and I have been fans for many years. I purchased the Money Penny Coin Holder wallet to use in my small crossbody handbags when I didn’t need or want to carry my full size Leather Trixie Trifold wallet, which I love. The Money Penny Coin Holder’s side zippered pocket is too narrow to accommodate credit cards, so you’re expected I suppose, to place them in the larger zippered main compartment along with folded money and to use the small zippered pocket for change. Again, the small compartment is too narrow to easily access change without just dumping it into your hand. The ID slip pocket is a nice feature. I think the width of the wallet is adequate, and I think that if the small zippered compartment’s zipper was about an eighth to a quarter inch longer it would be more useful because credit cards could be secured there and easily accessed without risking them being pulled out or dropped when trying to extract money from the main compartment. I say this because I have a small leather wallet designed like this that works great, but because it’s leather it’s a bit thicker than a Big Skinny design would be. I would love to have one made like it by Big Skinny in their terrific materials and quality workmanship.

Merchant Response:Dear C S., Thank you for your thorough review. We will certainly take your feedback into consideration.
Pros
  • Quality materials and workmanship
Cons
  • Design flaw, in my opinion, for use of credit cards and regular currency.

My son said it’s very comfortable in his pocket; fits next wallet & phone charger in his pocket very comfortably. Holds all of his change and he’s glad that I bought it for him. His wallet no longer has unnecessary bulges.

Merchant Response:Hi Joyce, Thank you for your review :) Our Panther Clutch has a larger zipper section if you carry many coins --or perhaps try our Lynx model?

Perfect little travel wallet
September 30, 2021
I love this little wallet for stashing in my bike bag or day pack. It holds everything I need.
Pros
  • Very slim and holds every thing I need.
Cons
  • You have to fold money in 4 which is really no big deal.

Perfect for traveling
August 27, 2021
I use this for my passport card (or enhanced DL) at the airport (keeping my "real" wallet secured elsewhere. This size is great for just carrying an ID and a housekey for going on walks, or a buspass for commuting. I would give it six stars if it had a way to attach it to a lanyard.

Best little wallet!
July 16, 2021
I love this little wallet. It was exactly what I was looking for and it fits perfectly in a pocket when I don't want to carry a purse. I usually carry a Fanny pack and it is great for that too.
Pros
  • Fits a drivers license, I have about 3 credit cards, a road side service card, 3 health cards, and 1 library card and $75 and change in it.
Cons
  • I can find none.

Not quite what I was hoping...
August 16, 2020
It holds about a dozen cards but to get one out is very difficult - ideally it should be about 1/2 inch wider so that cards can be accessed without difficulty. Also if you want to nicked a few bills they must be folded into thirds. To hold bills that are folded in half, it needs to be 1/3 - 1/2 inch taller.

Merchant Response:Dear Baba, Thank you for your feedback :) We will forward to our design team. Thank you for taking the time to review our product. Kind regards, BigSkinny
Pros
  • The usual big skinny quality is always there.
Cons
  • Size is not quite right from my perspective.

I absolutely love this wallet. It is so well designed. I makes getting ID out of the front slot so easy. Fits perfectly in my pocket. I just purchased my 3rd MoneyPenny just to change the color.

Great wallet
January 4, 2020
I cram all sorts of cards in this case: ID and medical cards in see-through area, credit cards and cash in large zipper area, coins in smaller zip area. I bought this at the NY State Fair and after many years of use it's starting to fray. It would be great to put a lanyard on this. RFID would be good too.
Pros
  • Holds a lot for a small wallet. Can stash this out of view from pick-pockets. Wears well over the years.
Cons
  • Missing RFID.

I love Big Skinny wallets. I am enjoying using this penny coin holder. It's lightweight in my purse and it has compartments and can hold cards too. I have another big skinny wallet and its a fantastic wallet. I think it is the best coin holder I've ever had.

lightweight and slim coin holder
February 17, 2019
1. Durable construction except the zipper. The coin holder went frequent trips to the washing machine and dryer. all survived. Zipper's holder broke 2years later. I ordered a replacement btw bec i liked this 2. A bit too slim to hold your cards and several coins. Could've been great if it could be equipped with something elastic on the side to expand when carrying tons of coins

Merchant Response:Dear M. Test, Thank you for your feedback!

Great Little Wallet
December 31, 2018
The Money Penny Coin Holder is a great little wallet that holds my credit cards and drivers license, bills, coins, and house key. There is a back slot is which I can slip any grocery list or even my ID which I need handy while checking in at the airport. I have the wallet I am currently using and I bought some extra as backups for when my current one wears out. I’ve had my current one for almost 3 years. It has worn well.

Merchant Response:Hi Mary, Thank you for your feedback! Still the same great material, but do let us know if you run into any trouble! We stand by our wallets :) Have a great day! BigSkinny
Pros
  • So handy!! Holds everything I need.
Cons
  • The current fabric seems of a little less quality than my first Big Skinny Coin Holder. The fabric seems thinner. Hopefully it will hold up as well as the first one I bought 3 years ago.

Fantastic pocket wallet
November 14, 2018
This is my second Big Skinny pocket wallet. I love it. My first one was in good shape but a little dirty and worn looking ( after using for at least 5 years). I decided to replace with a different brand, a standard folding wallet. Wrong decision. It just did not feel right carrying it in my pocket. So, I ordered a new Big Skinny. It's perfect. I carry my i.d., 3 credit cards, insurance cards, and cash in this neat little pocket sized wallet. Thank you Big Skinny.

Not Just for Coins!
September 21, 2018
This is the thinnest, most versatile "wallet" I have found! I'm now on my second one, only because my first one got a little dirty over several years of abuse. Filled with five credit cards and bills folded in half, sometimes I don't even know it is in my front pocket! I hate carrying around coins, but if I don't put them in the donation bucket at checkout, I can store them temporarily in the zipper pocket until I dump them out at home. In the side zipper pocket I put receipts to keep them separate from the bills. Finally, I love the drivers license window on the other side so I can just flash it when asked without having to pull the darn thing out! Absolutely love this...please keep making them for years to come!

Money Penny Coin Holder - great purchase
July 21, 2018
This is a great, small wallet that I use when I don't want to carry my purse around. Fits in my pocket and still holds what I need. Which in my case, are 2 bank cards, bills, coins and my driver's license.
Pros
  • fits in my pocket

Zipper broke
May 30, 2018
The zipper on the main opener of my wallet broke. I emailed customer service 4 days ago with pictures and an image of my original receipt. I still haven't heard anything back. This is strange because I had this exact wallet in black for nearly 7 years.

Merchant Response:Hi Heather, Oh no! Thank you for calling this to our attention! We'll get a replacement out to you ASAP! Every Big Skinny wallet comes with a 1 Year Warranty for materials & workmanship. We'll get everything sorted out. Thank you for your patience & understanding, BigSkinny
Pros

Have used this particular style wallet for years. This is a reorder, although they take a while to wear out. My family owns several BigSkinny wallets, according to personal preference, and all of them get 5 stars. Appreciate this one for how much I can carry in a very small space, including coins. Use all the time - suits, slacks, jeans, workout clothes.

Almost Perfect!!!!
April 20, 2018
If it was 1/4" wider, it would be easier to get credit cards into the zip pocket. And RFID would be awesome. But, it is so great to be able to carry something this size in your pockets, purse, hand, and it still carry everything you must have. I really like it.
Pros
  • easy to handle
  • easy to hide
Cons
  • tiny bit too narrow
  • no RFID

good for money, poor choice for cards
April 20, 2018
Don't buy if you want this for cards. You can only fit about 2 cards in the clear section on front. To get cards in and out of the zippered part you have to put them in upright and then wiggle them to get them horizontal. How you would ever get 10 cards in is beyond me - I got stuck at 4. If they added 1/2-1/3 inches in width, or enough to get the cards in horizontally without any trouble, they would improve the purse 100%. and I'd give it a 5 star rating. Having said that, I love Skinny Wallets, and own 4-5. I will use this one for coins and bills plus drivers license, but not for cards.

Merchant Response:Hi Lynn, Thank you for your feedback! We will look into adjusting the design. Have a wonderful weekend! BigSkinny

This is my third purchase. My first (after years of use) frayed at the top of the coin holder. I especially like to use them when traveling putting different foreign currency in different colored holders.

Second purchase of this great wallet
January 3, 2018
I love that this wallet can fit in my back pocket and carry bills, coins and credit cards. Although it is sometimes a little difficult to remove a credit card when there are 5 in the wallet, it is balanced by the fact that I don't need to carry a purse.

Too Small
December 27, 2017
Purchased to use with my "club" cards and hold money, but really too small. Would like to return if possible.

Merchant Response:Hi Cae, Oh no! At your earliest convenience, please contact our customer service team at service@bigskinny.com or 617.500.6939 and they'll be happy to work with you on finding a style that better suits your needs! We think the Lynx or the Trixie may be a good fit for you. Happy Holidays! BigSkinny
Pros
  • Purple is very bright
Cons
  • Too small for much other than coins.....which is what it is called.

Small Change
December 27, 2017
This change holder is nice but much smaller than I anticipated. I was hoping it could hold a credit card but the fit would be so tight, I would worry about it breaking the stitches.

Merchant Response:Hi Saun, Thank you for your feedback. I'm able to fit credit cards in my MoneyPenny -feel free to give it a try and if you run into any issues we will certainly have a replacement out to you asap! Happy Holidays! BigSkinny

Great for keeping a few extra cards
December 19, 2017
I use this to hold some of the extra credit cards that I don't use very often. It's very thin so it doesn't take up much room in my purse. The zipper keeps the cards from falling out.
Pros
  • This holds my extra cards so that they aren't overloading my wallet.

Perfect for small purses
October 20, 2017
I was searching for something to hold my bills, coins and at least two of important ID cards to fit into new very small purse I recently purchased. This fits the bill - does not take up a lot of space in purse, easy to find and easy to use. Quick service from Skinny Wallets. Size, color and quality of my Skinny Wallets Money/Coin holder is excellent.

Quality materials, a bit on the skinny side
October 9, 2017
I am happy with the design and materials of this wallet. I wish it were a bit bigger to hold more cash and that the key ring inside the coin part was not there as it gets in the way of removing change.
Pros
  • Well made,
  • high quality zippers
Cons
  • front plastic card holder needs to accommodate more cards
  • the skinny of the wallet size limits the amount of cash you can carry
  • key ring inside change purse part gets in the way of retrieving change
