The money pouch was popular in Ancient Rome. How well stocked it was, of course, depended on the owner. We make it for a role playing game, but your dad might like to get one too. Coincidentally, there is seam leather left from a skirt that is too long, which is perfect for this. Imitation leather is also possible, that sews easier anyway!
