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.

Not me but...There was a huge banking scandal in Austria (BAWAG sank some money - only 3 billion euros, nothing to worry about - in the Caribbean).
Somehow, some customers did worry and reacted by transferring there money to other banks.
One elderly couple withdrew 200.000 Euros, put it in a plastic bag, left the bank, and got mugged after 10 meters.
OK, it wasn't me (I never have more than 50 euros in my purse, probably because I don't have much more...) - but it's my first post and I want you all to click this "I like this" link!
