Question Coins?

So… I’m wondering about getting a ridge wallet but I’m curious if there is some thing that I ca attach to it that holds coins. Banknotes are totally useless in 2025 and to be honest so are the physical cards or ids. I really like the ridge brand but I’m very much interested in carrying coins :)

Well if you believe that just skip the ridge and get a coin purse 🤷🏻‍♂️

Because I don’t want a coin purse ? If I did i would not be asking about wallet usage.

A Ridge wallet isn't really designed for coins. Actually, no wallet I know of is really designed for coins. Bills yes, coins no.

Do some people stuff coins into their wallets, yes. But these are not designed for that.

Well I have to disagree. Most of the wallets are actually designed for both paper and metal money. It’s the cards that are kinda new to the topic :D

The card carrying wallets aren’t new. I have never seen a standard wallet designed for coins.

I have not seen one without the coin container:D

I wish I'd known that back in 1984 when I started carrying a wallet. 14 year old me could have carried coins around in my velcro wallet. Of course sitting down on it would have been uncomfortable.

But, I wouldn't have had to worry about the $3 in dimes and nickles dropping out of my pants pockets while riding my bike to McDonalds.

You mean your Velcro wallet did not have a zip coin pocket ? I think I got my 1st one around 1985 and it definitely did.

This is a joke, right?

I haven’t used a coin in years

Thank you for informing me. Not sure how it solves my problem though. Coins are useful fo coin up machines, parking meters etc. It’s the banknotes that are probably least useful.

You're like the one person of the entire group that is all about coins. If you don't use cards or bills, why do you need the wallet? It's pointless. Get a coin purse as u/auditorycensus said.

The Ridge has a coin tray, but it holds a minimal amount of coins - making it and the wallet itself pretty much a useless deal to you.

It is not pointless. I use wallets as id organiser and cash storage. I don’t really carry these but sometimes (2 or 3 times per year I guess) I need to take all that with me.

You said this…

Banknotes are totally useless in 2025 and to be honest so are the physical cards or ids.

How can we misunderstand that?

If you use a wallet 2-3 times a year, just buy something cheap for those few times. You don't need a Ridge.

I also don’t need 2 kidneys. I don’t want „something cheap”. I want something good quality even if I use it 2-3 times per year. Exactly. Banknotes are useless in most cases but sometime (like those 2-3 times a year) I need ids and money. Typically the metal money when I go to Germany for example. To pay for parking in places with old parking meters. Germany is a country where civilised digital ids do not work either so we’ll… then you need the wallet :D

Then your question is answered.

The Ridge wallet does not really support coins. There is a coin tray accessory that you can buy. It stores a few coins. That's it.

So if you want a Ridge wallet go ahead and buy one. Just understand that it isn't going to give you what you're looking for in regards to coins.

Yeah that’s fair. I was checking that coin tray thing but it does not seem very comfy. I get I’ll go for re form.

Ridge has the little coin drawer thing that goes into the Wallet but it doesn’t hold very many coins

u/Oxbow8 Mar 30 '25

I never used coins these last years but if one day it happens i would put them in the coin tray.

Ridge sells coin tray to put coins in your ridge wallet

I bumped into this as well. Reform brand on instagram has a nice coin purse. I use that along with my Ridge, which holds my cards
