I doubt that you have a steel wallet – yes, steel. You might want one in case you are worried about a security breach from those RFID ( radio frequency identification ) tags you soon may be carrying around with you:
“New York designer Theo Stewart-Stand created the steel wallet from the same finely woven, industrial steel that is used in aerospace applications, petroleum processing and metal doors and windows. Stewart-Stand tightened the weave of the steel so it is small and flexible enough to thread into fabric, but still stronger and far more durable than leather or suede. The resulting skinny wallet feels as smooth as silk — but doesn’t stretch, is cool to the touch and, of course, can’t be stained.”

The wallet is “industrial grade stainless steel”. It is a bit expensive but then there is always the alternative of tin foil. And you thought the geeks were joking with all that tin foil humour…
