A wallet will help you carry and protect your essential items. But did you know that people in Ancient Greek used wallets as survival packs?

Later in the 1600s, after the introduction of paper money, people started using them to carry their personal belongings and some money. In the 19th century, they used them to carry victuals, meat, and some other items that they wanted to keep private. Today, they use them to carry credit cards, IDs, money, receipts, and some other essential documents.
