The most cash I've ever carried
There'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 used to work as a bank teller
My first job out of high school 12 years ago was as a bank teller for the Commonwealth Bank here in oz. I hated it, having to deal with customers etc and left after a few months. One of my duties was the accept the weekly cash supply in from the Reserve Bank (banks give out more withdrawals than deposits received, so a cash supply is always needed). The cash was always in a bag about the size of a sports bag. I was disaponted to find that this bag carried around half a million dollars in cash. On the ads on the tv for the lottery they show a person winning a million dollars and having to drive the winnings away in a massive semi trailer truck full of cash. In reality a small wheelbarrow would be more than sufficient for all the winnings.
