What's the most cash you ever had on you?

[highland145]

Vacuum sealed with a desiccant. Interesting.

Prepper....

Nah, that can't be right for the end of society.

 

[coloumb]

I think about $250.00 before flying down to Vegas for a hockey tournament so I wouldn't have to use my debit/CC while in Vega$

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

This is ATOT, I'd be disappointed without claims of $250k or more. And all the bills had pointy elbows

 

[Phoenix86]

Around $21K, I don't recall the reason but it was easier to cash a large check and go across the street to deposit.

 

[JulesMaximus]

When we sold my wife's BMW private party the guy paid in cash, so $7,600 all $100 bills.

Only 250 bucks? Are you serious? You've never had more cash on you than that?

 

[tfinch2]

$9600 after selling my 350Z private party.

I also had a cashier's check for a little over $200k when I went to go close on my house a few months ago.

 

[NetWareHead]

Wow! That sounds like a scene from the Bourne series! LOL

Lol its actually not so exciting. I was buying a house and needed to turn that cash into a cashier's check and bring those funds to the closing.

 

[zanejohnson]

that 100K is freakin so pretty

My dad did a brief stint for the Federal reserve driving armored trucks after he got out of the Navy. Said he carried as much as $17 million in a single bag. This would have been in the 60's.

I don't know, if I'd carried around a million dollars or more I don't know that I'd want to brag about it. It would be a pretty hush hush affair.

Still sounds pretty exciting, would make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.

He was admitting that he's on the government teat.

Did you pay your business taxes yet? Daddy needs a new car

That'd be a large bag.

1.7 million $100 bills = 2.53 cubic yards or 510.9 gallons.

Though I suppose back in the sixties he could have theoretically been carrying $500s or $1000s or whatever; those were never common (obviously) but weren't completely removed from circulation until the 70s. So, ok.

170,000 $1000 bills = .253 cubic yards or 51.09 gallons. So an extra large trash bag full of Clevelands would have done it.

 

[alkemyst]

Around $25k

his dad wouldn't lie!

For me, it was slightly over $32k. It was back when I was a manager at the electronics/appliance store. When tax time came around, we would have massive stacks of cash. It was always a scary ride to the bank, even with 2 people (procedure any time the deposit had over $X cash).

yeah? well my dad carried around 18 million in a single bag! and it was in the 50s!

On top of the lobster you're getting on the Ebt?

 

[akugami]

Cash that was mine, about 80k.

Cash that wasn't mine, about 450k (taking it to deposit in bank at old job).

 

[Fern]

I used to do $10K or $20K when I lived in Europe. Before the EU moved to the euro I lived in France. The exchange rate for the French franc and dollar used to vary quite a bit so when the franc was high and the dollar low I'd take out a chunk of francs when I went to the US and convert and put in my US account. Vice versa when the dollar was high and the franc low. I just kept it in my briefcase, but I never had the cash for more than a few days.

Made a decent profit flipping currency over the years.

$1 million in a large grocery bag. :awe:

 

[mmntech]

Couple grand back when I worked at the store. Used to do the bank runs. Though people could pay cash, most didn't. Takes longer for the hold to fall of your credit card when you rent a car. So it wasn't a frequent thing.

 

[pete6032]

About $500 when I sold a computer on Craigslist.

 

[coloumb]

Nope.

I'll use debit card or credit card whenever possible.

Never had a job that required me to carry cash between point A and point B.

Neither have I but thats really surprising. How did you make large purchases before you had credit? Checks?
