    The usual stuff, Wallet, Keys, Folding knife, Pocket pistol most of the time, Cell phone if I must... I don't have a shilling, but I do carry a punt I got in Dublin a few years ago. Those Buzz Kidder sporrans swallow a lot of stuff!

    I noticed a couple folks mentioned coins in 'the bottom', I had trouble with this, but I started using one of those little rubber coin thingys ....don't know if they have a name? Great for controlling your change though!

    I don't know whether you remember the scene in Rob Roy where Liam Neeson (as Rob Roy) comes home in the wee sma' oors, bathes in the loch and then comes back to the house drying himself in his plaide or breacan feileadh: I reckon that it's just that situation that Douglas Adams had in mind in Hitchhiker's Guide - he obviously meant plaide when he wrote towel, don't you think?

    Just air or packing material, how ever a new sporan comes. I don't own one yet, so I am not sure what's in it.

    I should add that I don't have a shilling either, but in my wallet I have a 1 pound note (yes note not coin) from the Royal Bank of Scotland. I also have a $2 bill, so I do actually have money for an emergency.

    If you substitute the word "kilt" for towel in the Hitch hikers guide description of the uses for a towel. It fits quite well.
