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.

250 grand in a bin bagI went into a bank in Vietnam to change some travellers cheques. 60 dollars into Vietnamese Dong makes you feel like a millionaire.
My bubble was burst when the bloke next to me took 10,000 dollars (US) out of a bin bag. And another and another and another and another and another....
When he had 100,000 dollars on the counter, he was almost hald way through his sack of cash. He said that the quarter of a million was burning a hole in his mattress so he thought he would let the bank pay him to look after it.
The poor sods in the bank had to check every note by hand for forgeries. Must have taken hours.
And how did he get the money? I wish I knew.
