Men usually have wallets, which are flat and fit in the pocket. Women may have them too, but if so they are sometimes kept in the purse, which has a handstrap or a shoulder strap. In other countries men may carry a little bag of money which could be called a purse, though if it has a linear opening at the top, for example a zipper, then it is a pouch.
