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.

$800,000Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars is the most I’ve carried by myself, the who pay for a section in Basrah, that I had to transport down from Baghdad in a small tool kit plastic box, I also had to take a hand held radio down, they made me sign for the radio and sign it over to the guy in Basrah, but the 800 Grand, nah just handed it over !
As a group of people though, $25 Million Dollars, which if bloody heavy. Dumb yanks largest note is a $100 bill ( in regular circulation) and one of those large black plastic foot lockers that soldiers use can hold roughly $5 million in cash. So we had 5 of these things in the back of three vehicles driving up to Baghdad airport to catch a flight out to Jordan. When arrived in Jordan the banks had closed for the weekend so the poor lads had to sit with it in their hotels room and were a bit nervous. -) I heard they played cards with it starting out with $100 grand pots each for poker, nice gig if you can get it :-)
