When Im in transit, I use a money belt. If Im traveling from place to place daily, I also use the money belt. The entire point of the money belt is that you NEVER dig around in it in public, so not sure why that would come up, unless one is confusing a money belt with a fanny pack, that goes outside your clothing. In all my travels, I have never seen anyone dig into their money belt in public!
Otherwise, I use the big money - small money style of travel. The small money is either in a deep, zippered pocket of whatever Im wearing - or the outer - velcrow closed - pocket of my camera bag if I have no pockets. The big money (the most I could possibly need for the day - the rest is locked up in the hotel), 1 credit card and a copy of my passport is in the zippered pocket on the inside flap of my camera bag. Completely inaccessible.
If Im going to a place like Paris, I do use a regular wallet, but a nice, abbreviated one - not my regular wallet with every credit card, Body Shop discount card, etc.
I also got one of those Big Skinny wallets at a street fair. Its more like a flat credit card case - not a bulky folded thing, but it's good for keeping credit cards separate so the strips dont demagnetize. If I have to carry multiple cards for any reason, I use that thing - and it stays in the camera bag pocket.
