Modern money clips are a fashion accessory for the man who values a classy appearance and loves to display flawless social graces. Because of their simple and lightweight design, money clips are referred to as the minimalist version of a bi-fold. The earliest traces of money clip have been found around Egypt and then in Japan where a similar device was used to organize accounts notes at grain and rice storages which was traded like currency. As the usage of paper currency grew in Europe, the initial money clips were used to actually fasten notes to clothing in an attempt to avoid pickpockets. American money clips came into fashion right around the 1900s. Even to date, a money clip is considered a safer way of carrying cash, especially in crowded, notorious markets.
