The Mises Money Clip
Somehow we were under the impression that money clips were old hat, replaced by wallets and purses. But it turns out that they are highly treasured these days when you don't always want to dig through a wallet or purse in order to buy an energy drink or show your driver's license. People in large urban areas carry them exclusively, and kids like them too for keeping smaller bills.
So the quest began for just the right money clip to display the Mises Institute logo and message. We tried chrome, silver, brass, and many others, until at last we found just the right one: black leather with super-strong magnetic means of keeping your money safe and secure.
We'd all rather live in a world in which money was sound, meaning gold and silver coins or at least money substitutes for the same. But so long as we have paper money, why not take the sting away by using this money clip dedicated to the cause of a complete overhaul?
We were enormously pleased at how it turned out, and we think you will like it too. Also, the price is right: $15 for a very elegant accessory that might be used daily. The color is black with an embossed logo of the Mises Institute.
It is strong enough to carry a thick load of cash.
We only wish we could include the gold certificate featured in the picture!

So each money clip can be purchased for a Hamilton and a Lincoln?

I would prefer using seven Jeffersons and a Washington myself.

I still miss the money clip I lost a few years ago, but in any case, I would much prefer a gold-backed smart card to denominations of unconstitutional Federal Reserve Notes:

I ordered mine yesterday. This seems preferable to my current system of using just the insert from my wallet, with a few cards and the cash loose in the center. I can't stand carrying around a regular size wallet. This is also why my phone is a razr.
Thanks, Mises Institute. I will continue to support your message of liberty however I can.

How cool is that?
We need an Australian version.
Actually this money clip and something in Time Magazine has inspired a thread in my blog.
Some considerations here that not everyone will have thought through.

We carry the same item without the logo. The logo definitely adds a unique touch. You can also find many leather money clips that also feature a wallet with several credit card slots. They're less bulky than they sound and today, it is tough to walk around without your credit cards!

I was searching around the Internet and found a great money clip that holds from 1-5 credit cards and up to 30 bills. It was called the Smart Money Clip. I just bought one and really like it.
