Best coin purse. Period
October 8, 2017
I was already a trifold wallet user and wanted something to carry spare change. This was a perfect match. Two compartments and a location for cards.

Love my little mini-wallet!! Holds my driver license, insurance info, four credit cards, a bunch of change, and folded paper money. Plus it fits in my jeans pocket if I want to go purseless. The only thing that would make this better is if it were RFID, too! (Which I would buy in a heartbeat.)

Best wallet ever!
September 14, 2017
Small, compact and holds everything I need! Best wallet I ever had.
Pros
  • Small
  • Vegan friendly
  • Holds cash, coins and cards perfectly
  • Fits in any pocket
  • Small key ring
Cons
  • The tiny wallet was sent in a big box with a ton of plastic bubble wrap. This tiny wallet can be sent in a small envelope so it wasn't very planet friendly

Very disappointed
August 21, 2017
Just received this coin holder whic is ridiculously small. It's not worth returning and will probably throw it in a drawer . I would be surprised if it holds a dollar worth of change.

This wallet is so small, yet somehow fits all my cash, cards and coins. It even has a window for my license! The awesome purple color helps it stand out so I can find it easily in my handbag. I love it!

Love the Coin Wallet!
April 5, 2017
I have had this model for over five years, it has finally worn out. I use it as my daily wallet, and am replacing it with an exact duplicate. I put my license and major credit cards in the plastic pocket, my member cards (Costco, AAA, Library, Insurance, etc.) in the middle pocket, and travel receipts in the side zipper pocket. The photos show receipts from 5 days of travel, along with 15 cards/licenses.
Pros
  • Thin, very lightweight
  • Holds all my cards, money and travel receipts
  • Nothing has ever fallen out of the card or license pockets
Cons
  • Not RFID blocking
  • Zipper pulls are too feminine, I took mine off
  • Took out key ring, added no value to me
  • Plastic cover started cracking after a couple years

Great! (but zipper broken)
July 30, 2016
Really a great product and just what I was looking for. I have had it for a number of years and then the zipper broke. Normal use so I was shocked that the zipper broke. Out of the warranty period so I am not really complaining :) I bought a trifold wallet at the same time and I won't part with it. If it ever wears out I will buy a new one they are that good.

Still good but have changed a little
July 17, 2016
Been carrying one of these for about 12 years. I use it for my wallet and carry it in my front pocket attached to a lanyard. It has always been great. I have been through a few of them but they have always worked fine. The two I received on my new order look fine, except that the zipper pull no longer has the big hole in it. This is where I attached my lanyard. It does have a really small hole and I have not tried it yet. Hopefully I can work something out. I wished it hadn't been changed but hopefully I can deal with it. The product itself is really good.

Very Convenient and Thin
July 8, 2016
Love this Money Penny Coin Holder! Enough to put my essentials in when I have to just grab and go without the need for the bulky cards. It's thin enough to be put in my back pocket, sometimes I forget about it!
Pros
  • Thin
  • Small
  • Convenient
  • Grab n' Go
Cons
  • Tend to forget it's even in the back pocket. :)

Good product but hard company to deal with
June 3, 2016
It is not what i wanted. I have one that looks like this but holdS all my credit cards. I love it but the zipper broke and when I tried to order another one several years agoi just got put off by you. I thought this was the same one I have. I have returned it. Your are not an easy company to deal with. Therefore, not worth the effort to order from you.

So So Glad I Found Big Skinny!
February 15, 2016
I purchased your coin holder and it is great. I was given one of your checkbook wallets for Christmas. I love them both! I will never go back to another wallet. Big Skinny is the BEST,

Great little wallet
February 2, 2016
I have had this for over 3 years. Some people use it like it is designed for as a coin purse I use it as a front pocket wallet with my cards in the zipper pocket that I hardly use. I am glad I can put cards and a folded up $100 in it. I still use the front pouch to keep my house key and a couple pad lock keys and my handcuff key. I was afraid it would tear from the sharp keys, but it has not yet.
Pros
  • Light, rugged, plastic with thumb hole is strong.
Cons
  • I wish the zipper on the front pouch went all the way a cross.

The strong odor
December 18, 2015
I want to offer support to those who have complained about the odor. I own three Big Skinny wallets, and they are the best wallets I have ever used. However, I had to let each one hang open outside for several weeks to let the odor dissipate because I am chemically sensitive and cannot inhale whatever is off-gassing in a new Big Skinny wallet. I have complained about this before to customer service. The company should mitigate this issue before a customer gets sick. I recommend taking one of your new wallets to a laboratory that can test to identify the odor/gas. Then use something else safer and less offensive.

Merchant Response:Hi Sherry, Thank you for calling our attention to this matter. Some customers have found it helpful to wrap the wallet in newspaper or foil to help the odor to dissipate. Thank you again for your feedback. Kindest regards, Big Skinny

I like this product
December 17, 2015
This is a nice coin purse, but the zipper pull is a small tab, which makes it light weight and less obtrusive, but is a little small. Other than that a great little purse to put in your pocket and go. bills folded up fit inside this purse also, along w/a credit card or two. I mainly use it for coins, as I am using the money clip for cards and cash right now.

I use it to carry around religious medals and holy cards so it works well for me. As a wallet It works ok if you only have a few things to carry around. Cards fit tight and you only can carry one or two.

So compact, I put this on my Keychain....
April 16, 2015
I have been using this wallet for a few years now and I love it -- its the best wallet design I have ever used. I added, after purchase, a metal grommet to one of the lower corners, to which I attached my keyring, with the wallet on a detachable clip. My fear of "going skinny" was a fear of an increased possibly of losing my wallet (a problem I have gone through more than once, and would hate to endure again). With my keys firmly attached to the wallet, however, I can never unintentionally drive off without my wallet, and the keys act as a kind of jingling alarm bell when I accidentally drop my wallet, or alas, if a pickpocket ever tried to lift it. Also, when I get home now, I automatically stash my wallet with my keys -- no more need to hunt all over the place for a misplaced wallet just as I am trying to get out the door. The zippered side pocket (used for cash and coins and/or an emergency key) is also a perfect place to put my public-transportation "contactless smart card." It keeps it away from everything else in the wallet (The smart card never needs to be removed from the wallet when used -- just swipe your whole wallet by the reader -- and, despite claims to the contrary, the technology still seems to work best when the smart card is right next to the outer wall of any wallet rather than buried beneath other stuff). This placement of the smart card also provides a nice smooth and rigid plastic surface for any size bundle of folded cash to slide effortlessly in and out of the little pocket every time, without it ever snagging on the zipper or wallet material. My BigSkinny wallet has held up really well over the past few years of daily use even under the added punishment of always bashing around against my keys in my pocket. No tears, no worn/frayed cloth, no broken zippers or lost zipper pulls, and no split seams. There is one insignificant tear on the the finger hole of the clear plastic side-pouch which was intended to hold a picture ID. Also the clear plastic has also become quite "foggy" over time from friction against it and possibly age. Neither issue, however, affects its functionality or integrity of the pouch. I prefer to use this pouch for my most used CCs rather than for my ID, so the clear plastic likely gets a lot more wear and tear in my case. Over all, the wallet seems to be made of really rugged materials, despite being an "ultra-light" design, and I absolutely love how small it is (roughly the size of the CCs it contains). I could never go back to a bi- or tri- fold wallet again.

Merchant Response:Hi Scotty! Wow! Thank you for the awesome in-depth review! We will certainly take your advice into consideration. Have a great weekend! Big Skinny
Pros
  • super compact -- but has room for everything
  • Great for the "stuff it all in one pouch" kind of person
  • side zipper pouch perfect for "contactless smart card" (e.g. Clipper cards in SF bay area).
Cons
  • exterior key chain anchor point (i,e, grommet on a lower corner or on an added flap stiched into one of the side seams) would be nice addition

Fine
January 2, 2015
I graduated from the card holder to this one because I hated having loose change everywhere. It works very well. My only problem with it is that it came with an obnoxious chemical smell that permeates my purse and its contents. I have to take it out at night so it will dissipate. I've had it for a couple of weeks, and it is still there though not as strong. This is my fourth Skinny Minny (I bought one as a gift), and this is the first time I've detected this odor.

This is the second coin wallet that I have had because the first one finally wore out after many year of service. I carry my credit cards, house key and hearing aid batteries in mine - it works out just perfect. Thanks for creating an ideal product for my needs.

Great for on the run when you don't want to take a purse with you, like when I am skiing. Bought one for me and one for my daughter, for when she is at the barn taking care of her horses and had no need for a purse but needs to have a license and some money with her. We love them.

April 15, 2013
This wallet is perfect for what I needed. I hate carrying a purse and avoid it at all costs. This wallet fits perfectly into my back pocket and holds everything I need. I really like that it zips closed and has room for coins. After several months of use it still looks great and the purple is the perfect shade too. Thanks Big Skinny!
