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.

Like a kid at ChristmasOne of my very first jobs consisted of organising a photoshoot for a prestigious American newspaper's annual Christmas magazine. I had a studio full of more than a couple of million dollars' worth of Asprey and Tiffany jewellery, fine wine, and ridiculously trashy designer garb. Hermes, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Laboutin etc etc. It was Tatlertastic. All was fine until I had to deal with NYC's infamous courier companies, who sent me a courier to pick up about $20k's worth of champagne and some Valentino clobber. On a moped. 'Hey I can probably get the Valentino silk robe in my fanny pack,' he said. I thought not. Haven't been allowed nearer proper class than Primark since.
