 For those who are new to the class, a money clip is basically a stylized paper clip to hold your cash. It's a good alternative to a wallet on those evenings you're traveling light. You can carry your ID and credit cards with the cash as well, depending on the clip.Money clips are usually made of stainless steel, but there are silver, gold and platinum clips available, also. Precious metals are probably not worth the extra money, unless you have it spend. They also come in leather (with magnets to hold it together), which is a nice touch.
Like cuff links money clips can express personal tastes or interests, such as golf or music, or have your initials or other insignia engraved.
It's the Thought That Counts:Brian had a Swiss Army money clip, perfect for travel (in the pre-September 11 days) with scissors, a knife, and a nail file. He lost it and moaned about it for weeks until his wife bought him a new money clip. It was from Arizona and had Native American art etched on it. A nice gift, but it wasn't Brian's style — come on, tribal art? — and it never stayed closed. So, he bitched until Jill told him to shut up and get a different one. |
