Challenge - ?50 note holder wanted for 18th bday present

I am sure I have heard of these before but I cannot find one anywhere.
The idea is fold up ?50 really really small and wear it in a locket? or something. Then whoever has it (e.g. my SIL at university) has an emergency 'get home free' token. The idea is not to spend it but have it there in case the night out goes wrong, she is on the other side of town, buses have stopped running etc. etc.
Please don't tell me she will just spend it on beer as I really like this idea as does her mother.
When I looked at normal lockets they were all so thin that you had to have one that was over 1" in diameter so that the folded note wasn't too thick.
Please can you help me
Thanks
Debbie

P.S. Are you not allowed to use pound signs on MN

Oh I know what you mean, my mum has a really old one with some old note in it.

Would this money cracker be any good? at the bottom of the page

lovely idea, but many places are suspicious of fifty pound notes, so she might not get far unless she can change it!

Something like that, but ideally to go on a chain round her neck so it doesn't get lost (already have chain), also not see-though as I don't want people to know what's in there.

Countess Dracula - that is perfect, except I would have to break the glass to get the new money in!

Maybe make it a £20 note - except that doesn't get you very far by taxi
