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.

About £60,000I used to work for a bank and one of my jobs was refilling the cash machines of the branch I was in in central Manchester. We had a cash centre beneath the building where all of the cash for the city centre was stored and I regularly had to go down there, get a few shrink-wrapped bricks of £10s and £20s, then go and fill the machines up. Each time a machine was filled it had about £30,000 in it and this would usually last about a day.
There was also another building over the road which had its own machines and I had to fill those too. Thankfully I didn't have to leg it over the road - we had a very nice tunnel between the buildings which not many people outside of the bank knew about.
