I have a suggestion for our next issue. The other day, I was looking for a new wallet for myself and found a website selling small slim wallets which are designed to hold cards and a few bills. Weighing only 60 g, they look stylish. As I mainly use electronic money, this type of wallet seemed useful. I shared the link with my friends and asked them what they thought. Here are their comments: ・ I use a similar wallet now, and it holds cards securely. ・ They look perfect for me as I walk a lot, and it would be easy to carry. ・ I’d definitely use one if the store near my house accepted electronic money. ・ Cards take up very little space. Cashless payments make it easier to collect points. ・ I use both electronic money and cash. What would I do with my coins? ・ Interesting! Up to 6 cards can fit in it, but for me that is a card- holder, not a wallet. ・ I like to keep things like receipts in my wallet. When I asked my brother, though, he told me he wanted one! ・ They are so compact that I might not even notice if I lost mine. When I talked with them, even those who don't like this type of wallet pointed out some merits of using cards and electronic money. This made me wonder why many students still use bills and coins, and I thought this might be a good topic for our newspaper. What do you think?
