Time for a new wallet. Just like the old wallet, please.

A long, long time ago in a country far, far away, I bought a wallet. It needs replacing. I want it's twin, and can't find it.
I want to duplicate these features as much as possible:
• Overall size no bigger than just big enough.
• Section for coins that snaps and -- very important -- is not annoyingly small and inadequately functional. (I don't know what the type of snap is called on the current wallet (right side of image). I might settle for the other kind of snap, which this wallet has for the cards and folding money section and which I also don't know the name for. I might even consider a zipper compartment. However, every coin section I've seen so far is ridiculously nonfunctional; really, it constitutes a hexable offense.)
• Section for paper money.
• More than one section for cards. This beloved wallet has five places to insert cards.

I'm in the US, and I will gladly spend up to $50 on the perfect replacement ... maybe even up to $100.

I’ve had this wallet for about 5 years now and I love it so much, I would recommend it to anyone.
It meets all of your criteria — it’s tiny, the coin pouch is fully functional, there are 5 places to insert cards (4 on the inside and one on the flap — bit hard to tell from the photo but the colored panels on the inside hold cards, and you insert cards from the side rather than the top which makes it impossible for them to fall out). And, it’s so durable that it looks almost as new as the day I bought it. Honestly I could probably use this wallet for the rest of my life and be happy about it.

If the wallet Mizu linked above works for you, that brand is often available at Nordstrom Rack at a pretty serious discount. I also found a patterned version on sale on the brand website.

I have the same wallet mekily links above and have found it similarly useful and durable.

I don't know why my link above isn't showing. It's in the link box when I checked the edit. Maybe it doesn't like Amazon links?
Anyway, it was the Canadian site, but here's what it's called if you want to copy and paste on your Amazon site. "HOMPO Women's Small Wallets RFID Blocking Leather Wallet with Zipper Coin Pocket Bifold Mini Purse with ID Window"
