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.

Not me but my dad......has carried about £20million in cheques in a suitcase.
Seems the standard practice at the Bank of England for clearing cheques was to send someone to a mutual clearing house where all the banks would meet up and swap the relevant cheques.
One day they got a cheque for over £1million (big money back then!) which was for a company purchase by Phillips. They photocopied it and put it through twice.... that's accountant humour for you.
