Nah it didn’t break completely, just was no longer clamped as tight. Cash fell out of the middle of the folded stack into my pocket. At some point over a few days I noticed loose cash in my pocket, counted, and realized I had money missing. Since it was loose who knows when it fell out of my pocket. I tried to retrace my steps but had no luck. Yes I had been wearing the same jeans and not emptying them at night don’t judge me!

Back then I’d cash my paycheck and carry it around in a money clip like the dumbass kid that I was. Fortunately I never got robbed.
