Spare us the hyperbole.  What's a "large bill?"  A five?  If you're 
taking the metro more than once or twice a year, you're spending a 
"large bill" I guess.

Try putting the card in a wallet; if a wallet represents an egregious 
case of conspicuous consumption that you'd rather avoid, you might wrap 
the card a few times in paper - it's on the streets if the purchase is a 
hardship. 

I'm pretty careless, but have never had a metrocard get rejected cause 
it's wrinkled.  And I stuff them in my pockets.
