If you are a fan of those cards that play music when opened, then you need to get your hands on these Sonic Audio Wallets.
The wallets have an embedded sound chip placed inside it so that every time you open it up to retrieve your money, it will always be accompanied with a sweet melody. Though not every wallet will sound as sweet as the The Scream Wallet, which is taken from the painting by Edvard Munch.
The wallet comes in eight distinct designs for any and all tastes. The collection includes an American Flag Wallet, which plays the 'Star Spangled Banner' and a Buddha Wallet, which plays one of four meditative sounds and chants. Though these Sonic Audio Wallets are a great idea, it will be interesting to see how long it takes before people start stomping on it to make the constant sound stop.
