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 didn't really "carry" it...I had it stashed in my filing cabinet at work.
It was about 12 years ago. My boss signed a cheque for R200,000.00 (two hundred thousand rand) and asked me to have it cashed at the bank and the money delivered to the office. It wasn't even his company - he was only the managing director. I was the bookkeeper, so naturally I asked him what it was all about.
He said, "Never mind, there will be a contra deposit in the account tomorrow."
I had no choice, I had to do it. Then some guy came in and I handed him the money. R200K was a lot in those days...
