Leather Money Clip

One of the most unusual and cool types of money clip that you will find on the market is the magnetic money clip. A magnetic money clip is made from two large magnets encased in leather, with a small piece of leather between them. This allows the magnets to rotate into an open or closed position. The strongest magnetic money clips can hold up to 15 banknotes folded in half.

The main advantage of the magnetic money clip is its capacity. Generally it can hold more banknotes than the average money clip, keeping them securely in your pocket. However, its main disadvantage is that being magnetic it cannot be used for holding credit cards or any other type of smart card. This is because the magnets can interfere with the magnetic stripe on the back of the card. For this reason, one should use a magnetic money clip for holding cash only.

In actual fact, users of magnetic money clips often report that keeping them in close proximity to their laptop computers and hotel room keys can have disastrous results. The magnets can damage the hard disk, and in the case of a hotel room key make it absolutely impossible to open the door. For this reason, one should be particularly careful not to keep a magnetic money clip anywhere near such items.

Magnetic money clips can be purchased in a variety of forms. They can vary in colors, style, and shape, and do not even need to be made from leather (even though most of them are, in fact, leather). A homemade magnetic money clip, made from a dollar bill, has even been seen, giving the clip a very interesting and unusual look. Another type is made from Italian leather, giving a masculine, old-time feel, while those who want a more elegant look can purchase it made from real crocodile skin.

Women have not been left out here, as there are softer, smaller, more feminine designs for today’s woman in the corporate world who prefers to leave her credit card at home but carry her banknotes in a more stylish clip. Some producers also provide the option of personalizing your magnetic money clip, making it into a unique, special gift.

If, however, you find the idea of using a magnetic money clip without your credit cards to be too impractical for you, there are other uses for it. You can always use your magnetic money clip to store your receipts and coupons, or as an elegant, cool setting to show off your business cards. Similarly, if you are at a conference, there is nothing more professional-looking than pulling out your magnetic money clip to put the cards that you receive inside.

The magnetic money clip clearly has its positive uses, even if it is still important to avoid contact with credit cards or anything else magnetic. It enhances the holder’s professional image and sense of elegance, as well as providing a useful and practical case for your dollar bills.
