I have been using this type of coin purse since 1994 when one of my hands was injured.

I ordered this purse to have one on hand in case I loose the one I am currently using, and I am extremely disappointed with it.  This purse has a foul odor that does not dissipate over time.  The leather is stiff and, lacking pliability, it does not close completely or lie flat as do these kinds of purses when they are made of good leather.

When I reported these deficiencies to the seller, my money was refunded promptly.  However, I am still not happy because having made made purchases on Amazon.com, this is the first one that is clearly of inferior quality.

The purse I am using now I purchased on Amazon.com, and it is made of good, pliable leather.  I don't know who the seller was.  A good purse of this type is made of pliable, sweet smelling leather and it lies flat when it is empty.
