What is a leather wallet for money

In Russia, a tradition has developed to call a leather wallet for money a wallet, although there is still a difference between these two concepts. A purse is an exclusively female accessory of an oblong shape that has a zipper or button closure. The purse is used only by men, it looks like a square, because it folds in half (rarely three times), has a strap with a button or a sewn-in magnet.

The obsolete French word «porte-monnaie» was formed from the verb «porter», which translates as «to wear», and the noun «monnaie», that is, «money». For the first time this concept arose in France in the 18th century, and in those days it was used to refer to an object in which coins were stored. The translation is still relevant today, because in the modern world paper banknotes, metal coins, plastic cards, etc. are carried in a leather wallet.

Back in the 11th century, on the territory of the Old Russian state, there was an analogue of a modern wallet for storing money and jewelry. In those days, it looked like a canvas bag, which was pulled together with a rope or ribbon. In such a bag they carried not only coins, but also small weights. With their help, it was possible to measure the weight of the wallet if the payment was in the form of precious stones.

The fact of using wallets was recorded even before our era in the territory of modern European countries, where they were called omoniers, they were made of leather or canvas. The peak of fashion for these accessories falls on the 12th century, when the participants of the Crusades brought Saracen pouches decorated with embroidery and metal decor from the East. This item, fastened to the owner’s belt, demonstrated his high position and wealth. In Japan, money was strung on a red thread for a long time. And only after such a familiar element as a pocket appeared on clothes, wallets similar to modern wallets began to be in demand.
