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.

I have a few stories.The most cash I've ever carried that belonged to me was about $1200.00. Back when I was moving away to university, my bank was giving me the gears about doing a simple transfer without charging me a fee. It turned out to cost me nothing to cash out my account, so I went that route, and asked, on a whim, for thousand dollar bills. I got my sister to hold all but one, which I put in my wallet and carried with my spending money for about a week until I opened a new account in the new city. And yes, the entire week was a drunken idiotfest, so I don't know how I didn't lose my savings.
Other than that, I've made bank deposits for various jobs (usually under $10 000.00), but I also used to work for an ASO which had a huge annual fundraiser which always brought in bucketloads of cash, typically $6 000.00 - $15 000.00. That I only had to help carry, and only as far as to the security company's cart, but it's a novel experience to see and count thousands of dollars in small bills all at once.
