People will do anything to fake wealth these days and this Loaded Wallet is a perfect example. Meant to fool the odd passerby that can’t tell a real stack of bills from those subtly [glossed and stitched down with leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proof-wallet), the Loaded Wallet is created to look like a [stack of $100 bills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loyal-stricklin-miles-wallet) wrapped with an elastic band (sadly, no real currency was used in the making of this affluence-faker).

The only problem is, if you stuck the Loaded Wallet out of your back pocket as suggested, someone might actually come by and steal your wallet. So whatever real bills you did have will be gone along with your fake ones!
