Coins are a nuisance in most wallets. They bulge irregularly, can cause cards to break, and generally get in the way.
While kangaroos are known for their unique carrying pouches, they also have a body part that can make for a great coin purse…
While single pouches are generally the go, doubles are also available.
It kinda comes down to personal taste…
On a side note: Kangaroo leather is used loads in motorcycle protective gear, as it’s one of the strongest and most abrasion resistant leathers available. Additionally, kangaroo meat has been suggested as a much more eco friendly food source than beef, as kangaroos don’t generate methane, a noxious greenhouse gas. If the roo meat industry does grow to meet these two industries needs, we may need to be more clever with our use of their full hides…

As a bonus, Kangaroo meat is delicious(you do have to cook it longer on a cooler plate than your usual beef, though).
As for Kangaroo scrotum pouches, they’re common in Australian Tourist traps and souvenir shops for pretty cheap.
I might be willing to send some to anyone who is willing to pay for the shipping and pouches.
I am confused. Are these simply made from Roo leather and shaped like scrotum pouches or are they literally from the sack of a kangaroo?
I had some Roo meat when I was in Australia. Not an ounce of fat on it and dark dark red. I thought the texture/mouthfeel was very appealing but it was kind of gamey to me. I mean, I expected it and I think if I ate it more regularly, I would like it more but a small piece was enough for me. Not to mention, I think my host overcooked it a bit.
Yeah, they are actual scrotums, tanned and branded for novelty tourist gifts (as Churba says).
But I bet they’re tougher than most other scrotums.
