A one-piece holder having a size and shape adapted to securely and simultaneously retain both flexible, foldable paper currency and substantially inflexible and rigid plastic cards, said one-piece holder comprising: a solid longitudinally extending base having a first continuous substantially planar surface and a second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface, two opposed longitudinally extending side edges and two transversely extending end edges, said two end edges extending between respective ends of said longitudinally extending side edges, a resilient retaining member integrally formed with said base, said resilient retaining member extending from one of said two transversely extending end edges over said first continuous substantially planar surface, said resilient retaining member being biased toward said first continuous substantially planar surface, a leading edge of said resilient retaining member being continuously curved for avoiding snagging and tearing of clothing, and two substantially rigid retaining members integrally formed with said base and extending along substantially an entire length of said two opposed longitudinally extending side edges, said two substantially rigid retaining members each including a first portion extending from said second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface, defining a plane extending substantially perpendicular to said second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface, and a second portion extending from said first portion, defining a plane extending substantially perpendicular to said first portion and extending substantially parallel to said second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface, said second portion of said two substantially rigid retaining members terminating in continuously curved edges extending over said second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface for avoiding snagging and tearing of clothing, and said two substantially rigid retaining members defining a retaining channel between said second, opposed continuous planar surface and said two substantially rigid retaining members of a width substantially equal to a width of a credit card.

A one-piece holder having a size and shape adapted to securely and simultaneously retain both flexible, foldable paper currency and substantially inflexible and rigid plastic cards, said one-piece holder comprising: a solid longitudinally extending base having a first continuous substantially planar surface and a second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface, two opposed longitudinally extending side edges and two transversely extending end edges, said two end edges extending between respective ends of said longitudinally extending side edges, a resilient retaining member integrally formed with said base, said resilient retaining member extending from one of said two transversely extending end edges over said first continuous substantially planar surface, said resilient retaining member being biased toward said first continuous substantially planar surface, a leading edge of said resilient retaining member being continuously curved for avoiding snagging and tearing of clothing, and two substantially rigid retaining members integrally formed with said base and extending along substantially an entire length of said two opposed longitudinally extending side edges, said two substantially rigid retaining members each including a first portion extending from said second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface, defining a plane extending substantially perpendicular to said second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface, and a second portion extending from said first portion, defining a plane extending substantially perpendicular to said first portion and extending substantially parallel to said second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface, said second portion of said two substantially rigid retaining members terminating in continuously curved edges extending over said second, opposed continuous substantially planar surface for avoiding snagging and tearing of clothing, and said two substantially rigid retaining members defining a retaining channel between said second, opposed continuous planar surface and said two substantially rigid retaining members of a width substantially equal to a width of a credit card.
