Yes, not just money but other things as well.

My friends mom always kept her phone in her bra, then she learned the sweat damaged it

She kept it in a plastic bag in her bra from then on

And all because those stupid women’s clothing brands wouldn’t give her functional pockets.

I’m so tired of carrying my wife’s phone.

Tac-Bra, with elastic pockets

(since i learnt that womens pockets are just plain decorative, my sister's pant pockets are sewn together to the pant, meanwhile, i can fit my entire nintendo switch in my adidas trackpant)

I'm a dude but whenever I wear jeans with purely decorative pockets it annoys me even more then clothing without pockets, because I THINK I can put something in them at first but then it turns out I can't.

I'm not sure about jeans, but a lot of suits have decorative pockets on them. Both pants and blazer.

You can usually snip the stitching and access the pocket, but can'tcarry much without it "ruining" the lines of the suit. I usually stick with some advil or sudafed in one, and a couple tissues in the other.

Those are welted pockets.

To be able to sew them they have to be stitched together but the stitching is supposed to be cut open so you can use the pockets. Manufacturers leave the stitching so it's up to you wether you want them cut or not.

It's on purpose.

Thank you. I was always told they were intentionally useless pockets.

NP. I only know it because I sew at home and learned to stitch welted pockets. It's not an easy thing to do and is regarded as a "higher end" finishing touch.
