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 much cash here really...The most I have personally carried was £350 when I was buying one of my guitars. I bought it secondhand so had to carry the cash about with me as I was meeting the guy after uni, hidden safely in my bag with me being rather watchful of it that day.
The most I have ever held in person was somewhere in the region of £5000, my dad was the treasurer for a fairly big week long event, and had to collect all the cash at the end of each day, hence the £5000, probably not that much compared to some stories here, but still a fair amount.
Generally nowadays credit cards do the job of carrying large sums of money about in a safer fashion than as a large wad (of easily nicked) banknotes
Someday I do intend buying somethign fairly expensive in cash, purely so I can try and reenact the bit from Waynes world when he goes to buy the guitar.
