wallet
A small pouch or case, usually made of leather or fabric, in which you keep money, cards, and ID documents. Also referred to as a purse or billfold.
Ich glaube, ich habe mein Portemonnaie im Auto liegen lassen.
I think I left my wallet in the car.
The word comes from French and is made up of 'porter' (to carry) and 'monnaie' (coin, money). So it literally means 'money carrier'.
In meinem Portemonnaie ist leider nicht mehr viel Bargeld.
Unfortunately, there isn't much cash left in my wallet.
When you put something into the wallet, you use the accusative ('ins Portemonnaie' — into the wallet). When something is inside it or you take something out of it, you use the dative ('im/aus dem Portemonnaie' — in/out of the wallet).
Ich stecke den Geldschein in mein Portemonnaie.
I put the banknote into my wallet.
Common verbs used with 'Portemonnaie' (wallet) are 'verlieren' (to lose), 'finden' (to find), 'stehlen' (to steal), and 'zücken' (to whip out quickly in order to pay).
An der Kasse zückte sie ihr Portemonnaie, um die Rechnung zu bezahlen.
At the checkout, she whipped out her wallet to pay the bill.
stock exchange / market / purse
'die Börse' and 'das Portemonnaie' can both mean the small pouch or case for money, cards, and ID documents. In this meaning, they are synonyms. 'Portemonnaie' is very natural in everyday language and generally easy to understand. 'Börse' in this meaning is heard less often; it can sound old-fashioned or regional. In addition, 'Börse' can also mean a financial market or an exchange event. If you mean the object in your bag or pocket, 'Portemonnaie' is usually the clearer choice.
Ihr Portemonnaie liegt zu Hause auf dem Küchentisch.
Her wallet is at home on the kitchen table.
