Money clips and AP's post em if you got em
Been using money clips for years.. Every time I watched the Movie Face Off staring Nicolas Cage, he plaid a drug lord who in one early scene of the movie pulls out a solid gold dragon money clip with ruby eyes and it bites down on the cash to hold it.. I was amazed.. Searched the net for years and never found anything like it.. Made a phone call to my wife's brother who works for legendary studios out in LA.. He made a phone call to the prop master for that movie and got the name of the jeweler who made the clip for the movie among other things.. Turns out after I spoke with the jeweler the clip used in the movie was gold plated and synthetic rubies for the eyes and the jaw was not spring loaded but fixed in the open position. He scanned and sent me over some sketches of the clip along with dimensions as he no longer had the original. I had a very skilled designer make the clip for me in solid gold with real 2.5 ct matching set ruby eyes each and a internal double counter spring design jaw. this clip is the only one in the world aside from the fake gold one made for the movie that didn't actually function. It was not easy to have made.
Would like to see everyone else's clips with their AP's       Money clip from the movie screen grabs.

Wow, very cool. I really liked that movie a lot when it came out. I remember Nicholas Cage's character, Castor Troy, with big gold cuff links, the money clip, and IIRC gold plated pistols. Interesting to hear that the money clip in the movie was non-functional and plated. Glad to see you were able to have a real one made! Thanks for sharing.

Nothing too fancy. My everyday is a Dunhill sterling silver one and I also have a custom made one with Mexican five cent coins from my birth year that I use every once in a while.
