Typically the stereotype would call for them to carry a wad of bills rolled up in a rubber band or money clip. I think it was Agent Garcia that said they all rolled up their bills in thick rubber bands like the ones you see around the broccoli or other vegetables at the supermarket.

A couple of the Jersey guys have been known to carry their money in a purse whistle.

Vito Corleone carried a coin purse. (Fredo made it for him when he was a kid in day camp).

In one of the original scenes that was cut out, right after Vito is shot and The Turk says "5 shots, and he's still alive"....... we learn that Vito indeed had a coin purse on the inside pocket of his overcoat, which deflected one of the bullets that would have hit him right in the heart and killed him!

So while Fredo was unable to react and dropped his gun while Vito was being shot...ironically he saved him because of the purse that he had made for his father when he was a child.

Go figure!

Right there Fredo showed he could handle things, that he was smart, not like everyone thought.
