My Kroger card is 23 years old and is the same one I found in the parking lot of the Kroger near my dorm in college. Found it there and have used it since. The mag strip is long worn off and the barcode takes several tries to scan, but it works. I did take a scan of it about 7 or 8 years ago when it was more legible, so I may print that copy and laminate it for another 23 years lol. |

scans can also get retouched, just saying... |

This was part of my spring cleaning, I slimmed my trifold wallet down to right at about an inch thick. Current Contents:
And yeah, it's highly recommended to like not carry a couple or few of these items, but I have official duplicates at home anyways, I keep all my official documents put up at home anyways, all the way back to my official vaccination records when I was a child. The spare prescription eyeglass lens is ground down and clipped into a keyring, the indent in my wallet looks like I'm carrying a condom LOL! But nah, it's my spare lens, in case I lose my glasses, and I call it my lucky coin.. |

Organ donor card. It's all registered online/electronically now, so not necessary at all, but it feels right still to keep it with me wherever I may get run over or mauled by geese so as to not let any organs go to waste. |

My ADAC Gold membership card. I guess it's similar to AAA roadside assistance in the US, just for Europe. I've had it for over 10 years, since I got my first car. It has paid for itself multiple times over since I drive a lot of ancient shitboxes. |

Someone used a 57 silver certificate to buy a drink at my bar just a couple of weeks ago. I hung it on my fridge. |

Man, a year ago, I would have been able to whip out a 1992 Metallica concert ticket. Alas, it would have been damn near illegible, which is why I finally just trashed it. So right now, the oldest thing I have is probably my old driver's license. I got the new one last year, but still have the old one which was from ages ago |

I started working at my current company in 1999. It took them a couple days after my start date to get me an electroic swipe card to get in and out of the building. The short-term solution: a paper card with the signature from the head of HR authorizing me to get into the building and onto my floor, as nobody recognized me yet. I still have it. I do not know why but it's been with me ever since, moving from wallet to wallet. |
