How To Use A Money Clip Step-By-Step
Using a money clip is very simple. But it’s important to know a few hacks to ensure you look like you know what you’re doing. Plus we’ll show you how to use your money clip to look like a high roller.
Step 1 Buy yourself a high quality money clip
Look for a money clip that is made of steel, or carbon. Not plastic. Personally I prefer the ridge wallet with a money clip attached. It’s an expandable wallet to hold your cards and an external money clip. Plus it has RFID blocking tech to ensure your credit cards can not be stolen when in close proximity to scammers in public places.

Step 3 Organize your bills to look like a high roller
Put all the $5 bills together, then wrap the $100 bill around the outside of the $5 bills. A simple rule of thumb is to always have the largest face value bill on the outside of your folded money.

How to NOT use your money clip
Use a money clip is not a simple as someone might think. The amount of times people use money clips incorrectly is shocking. Avoid looking like a rookie by avoiding doing the following:
Do put your clip on the long edge of your money. You will not get the grip that you need. The clip will slide around, and you may even damage or rip your bills by cutting them this way.
Do not put your money clip over the short edge of your bills. Same principle applies here. You’re more likely for your clip to fall off, and your bills get damaged.
Putting your $1 bills overtop of your stack. If you want to look broke just put $1 bills at the top of your money clip stack. Or if you want to catch eyes when out in the big city you should be putting the biggest bills on top.
