Money clips are an alternative to the classic wallet. Many men prefer them because they can carry their money without dealing with the bulk of a wallet. Money clips are comfortable when carried in your front pocket, unlike many wallets.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Decide what kind of money clip you want. There's the kind you squeeze the dollar bills into, those that snap up and down with a spring loaded back and others with a magnetic clip for added security.
Step2
Choose a color and tone. Money clips come in silver tone, gold tone, pewter, leather and stainless steel.
Step3
Go online to find the most comprehensive selection of money clips. You can get clips engraved with your initials. There are also many that show your personality. For instance a minted coin, dollar sign, card suits, golf or sports logo.
Step4
Check men's clothing stores and department stores for money clips. They are usually near the men's wallets and ties. There will be a few choices, but not nearly as many as you'll find online.
Step5
Consider a wallet and money clip combination. You can purchase leather wallets with a sleeve for your license and a few credit cards. Attached to the outside is a magnetic clip to hold your bills. It's much smaller and more accessible than a typical wallet.
Step6
Get a Smart money clip. It's one of the most popular money clips on the market. Secure your cash on one side under the clip and put a few cards on the other side. There's no magnet to interfere with your credit cards.

Tips & Warnings

  • Also check stores that sells engraveable items, like "Things Remembered."
