The most cash I've ever carriedThere's nothing like carrying large amounts of cash to make yourself feel simultaneously like a lottery winner and an obvious target.
A friend went to buy a car for ten grand, panicked and stuffed it down his pants for safety. It was all a bit smelly by the time he got there and he had to search around for some of it...
Tell us the story behind the most cash you've ever carried.

£1500When I bought a car. It was the most money I've had in my life.
A mate of mine (the landlord of my local) was driving me over to Bury to give the final nod to my purchase and I had to wander from the bank to the pub with 1500 quid in cash. Rather naively I thought I'd need ID to withdraw that amount of cash but the cashier just handed it over.
When I was handing the cash over for the car, the guy asked my mate what he did for a living and he said that he works for the MOD (he's a security guard for one of our fine US-owned terrorist targets, so he was sort of right). The guy didn't reply to that and just went sort of quiet...
I remember when I was 13, I'd saved all my pocket money and owned a crisp £50 note for a bit. But this succeeded in one of my mum's mingier friends making improper advances. Shudder...
