Now that some ATMs let you choose your denominations, I get all my cash in fives. Even $300 (pretty much the outer limit of what I ever want to carry in cash) in fives comfortably fits in my wallet, and you avoid most of the headaches of trying to make change for larger bills.

You can fit a stack of 60 bills in your wallet comfortably!? The internet says a bill is 0.0043 inches thick, so 60 bills would be roughly a quarter inch thick. Folded in half, that's over half an inch just for your cash.

  ah, sorry. My "wallet" is one of those folio type things that doubles as a phone case. I don't keep it in my back pocket like a traditional Costanza-style wallet.

    Do people keep wallets in their back pockets outside of cartoons and 20th century pickpocket victims in films? I prefer it separate to my phone, but always front pocket, I don't want to sit (lop-sided?!) on it.

      I used a regular back-pocket wallet until 2020 when I didn't use it for a few months except to enter my credit card number online. I'm in the Midwest and it seems that this is still the norm. Maybe things are different on the coasts?

      That is still the standard practice, as far as I am aware; I've never carried my wallet anywhere else. Not sure what else the back pockets would be used for. Perhaps you'd feel weird about watching other people's asses, as you walk down the street, but if you did, I bet you'd notice a lot of worn-in rectangular patterns - especially on blue jeans - revealing the wearer's wallet location.
