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.

in mass...23rd dec, i did the christmas/new years change run [ie. the change to last us from 23rd dec all the way to the first bank working day of the next year] at a shop selling items inspired by times from the past. i always used to offer to do the change run when i was working because it was a five min walk to the bank, followed by ten mins of queuing and being served, and another five mins of walking = paid cig break and destressing time, much needed at christmas. score.
i take the change order request and a wodge of cash [without bothering to read/count it, assuming it's a daily one for about £75] and some carrier bags [unmarked? pah], wander down to the bank complete with marlboro reds [it had been payday the day before and these were the first straights i'd smoked in over six weeks], wander in, queue, get served and watch as the cashier counts out several bags of 20 £1 coins. and several more. and then some. so i glance thru the screen and read the change order. for £600, all in pounds. good job i picked up two medium carriers, eh?
walk back down exeter high street carrying £300 in each bag, and another fag balancing on my lip was an experience i don't imagine i'll be experiencing again.
not the largest amount of money in value, but possibly a contender for largest amount by mass?
this story was brought to you by past times, advertising their super-strong bags
