Cash cards flooding inventory screen
Describe the solution you'd like
Wallet as a nested container to hold all cash cards, id cards, and eventually paper money
Describe alternatives you've considered
Going back to stacking cash cards as one item
Additional context
Maybe wallets could have infinite storage capacity for QoL instead of only realistically holding 10 cards or so.

If I remember correctly cash cards stacked previously and displayed as a single stack of items, displaying a total sum of money in all of them.

That used to be the case, yes. Now that we have nested containers, having a wallet to contain these just makes sense. It could be found on zombies or npcs, sometimes in dressers. Wallets may even contain pictures of family to boost morale or even a condom for whatever use you may find for that.

So, only the wallet should display them as stack? If you use a simple plastic bag and insert cash cards in it then they should be displayed as separate cash cards?
If yes, should the same principle apply to other items, such as arrows? I.e. arrows only become a stack inside quiver, and displayed separate in any other non-specialized container.
If no, then wallet does nothing really, because any other container would work the same for the purpose of displaying them as stack.

I think any nested container should show it as a stack, multiple entries of cash cards at a glance would mean that they are split between different pockets. The wallet would just be a more appropriate solution for organization, everyone has one and we all choose to put bank cards there rather than stuffing in a plastic bag or thrown in the bottom of a backpack.

A wallet does still make sense from a realism perspective, even if you can achieve the same thing with a sandwich baggy. That's exactly like real life, where you could easily walk around with either a sandwich baggy or a wallet but you have the choice of both.

I think in Cataclysm setting I could care less where I would store my cards, because scenarios where I would use them are pretty rare. Unlike in real life, where you purchase stuff and show your ID multiple times per day.

The idea here is to stuff them into your wallet and forget about it until you need it, not being reminded that you're carrying 43 cash cards. It makes it slightly more interesting taking a wallet off of a body and pulling a cash card or other stuff out than to just see a cash card basically in the zombies hand.

Yes, this is more of a "please add a new screen that removes my cash cards from my inventory" Which I think is a good idea, because right now at end game you can easily find yourself scrolling through an entire inventory screen of cash cards. I agree though, a wallet isnt exactly a bad idea. Absolutely shouldn't have infinite storage though.
