What's the most amount of cash you've held in your hands?

[Cooter Brown]

The cash finding thread made me think of this. I wonder if I have the record.

Mine is $100,000.

If you worked in a bank, your record doesn't count.

About $50,000 in $1-20 notes. Brought it back to LA from Atlanta in my briefcase. Security opened my bag and I asked them to be discreet as there was a lot of cash in it. They looked at me as if I was a drug dealer....

No more than about 5 grand... the fact that it was mine made it feel a lot bigger though!

Does a bank check to me worth $200,000.00 count? 8)

I most be real poor because I only held $3,000 in cash in my hand.

[DrJay]

I think I'm well under $1000 on this one.

Cash - $10,000, paper - orders of magnitude greater

Does Lire (Italian) count? I once had 1 million lire in my hands. :lol:
