The stiff construction restricted visibility of the bills, and the reviewer often removed all cash to reach individual notes. The rear card slot includes a pull tab, which the reviewer used for quickly removing cards from the wallet. The cash compartment accommodated Japanese Yen, Euros, Pound Sterling, and Philippine Pesos without issues during the reviewer’s testing.
The coin pouch held up to twenty assorted coins, giving the reviewer useful capacity for different denominations. The wallet fit into pockets in most cases, but its substantial thickness caused noticeable bulging even when empty.
