| Abstract: |
A currency pocket for a wallet is formed from an inner piece and a multi-layered back piece. The back piece is comprised of an inner fabric liner, an outer fabric layer and a material insert therebetween. The inner piece is sized and secured to the back piece to form a transverse flap to which a velcro strip is secured. A corresponding velcro strip is secured transversely along the opposite transverse edge of the outer fabric layer. The finished wallet readily conforms to body contours, and when closed, tends to float.
