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.

House PurchaseBuying my first house with my brother about 7 years ago.
Payment due to the agents on 19 September. I leave the country on 12 September for 3 weeks working for a travel company.
On the 17th the Brother gets the bank drafts (good for cash), and sends them with a client on a flight to the resort. I'm waiting at the airport and take possesion of the two cheques; total value 178000 euro. I ensorse them (sign the back) and give them to another client who is flying back to Dublin.
Brother meets the client at the airport and takes the cheques back.
178000 travels 6 hours in a plane so I can hold it for 5 minutes, scrawl my name on it and then 178000 travels 6 hours home again.
