    50-odd grand to the bank to do a lodgement, wrapped up in a black plastic bag in one of my old jobs. Nearly wet myself carrying it around.

    Out of my own money, 22 grand. Now, I'd be lucky to have twenty euro in my purse. :pac:

    True story - Went out for lunch one Friday with my boss ( I had the princely sum of five pounds in my purse waiting for the end of the month pay cheque). Anyway the wind is blowing and four men got out of a car just ahead of where we were walking towards the restaurant - and twenty pound notes start blowing from one of the men's pockets. I picked up what I found and my boss handed me what he picked up and I ran up to the four men in front and handed them approximately 800 pounds. No thanks.

    So 800 pounds was the most amount of money I ever carried. ( and one of those twenty pound notes would have made my weekend go a lot longer) !!!

    23500 in cash to buy a car. I got the bus in Donegal to Dublin, got off at busarus and walked to St Stephens green where I was to meet the fella selling the car. I had the money in two envelopes in inside pockets of my jacket and I have never been so nervous in my life till I got rid if it and bought the car.

    I needed to make a large cash withdrawal last year, so I phoned the bank to give them a few days notice. When I called to withdraw I was ushered into an office where a very embarrased manager explained they didn't have enough cash in the bank and could I wait until later in the day.

    45,000 PUNTS !! It was around a week before christmas and was asked to pick up a couple of sets of plans for a job off a builder that we done a lot of work for !! Nothing unusual about that :) .. Picked up a good few large envelopes from the dozy secretary and like everything else they were just flung onto the seat of me van with all the other crap !!! Next stop a bit of skiving into the square s.c for last minute christmas bits :D.. 40-45 mins later shopping sorted , headed up to the office where my FAT CAT BOSS started to open up the envelopes and pulled out a fair few wads of cash ...Yep his sets of plans was actually 45k in cash !!!! He nearly fu#kin fell off the chair when i told him i had taken a little detour into the square leaving his ( sets of plans ) alone me van :eek::eek: Served him right for being a sneaky bastid .. Needless to say he never opened his mouth about my little shopping trip he was just very happy to have his cash.

    On my own I think it was around €35,000 which was a Saturday nights takings. We had to do lodgements every day so I was lodging it in the bank Sunday morning. I hated doing it - not because of the money but because it was a constant fight to get into the self-service area and the automated lodgement box. BOI would seriously want to get their facilities in order.

    There was another time with about €76,000 but that was 3 nightclubs takings and I wasn't alone. Would-be robbers take note: I don't work in bars or do cash lodgements any more. :pac:

    Depends on how much I get paid each month but it's just a big wad of cash.. The biggest note is worth about 20euro so I have to take my money belt to carry it around my waist. Hate carrying it every single month because anyone can find out the day the foreign teachers get paid and they'd get over a years salary from one mugging.

    The most I've ever had was like $6000 or something going to the bank.. You feel like a red hot target when average salaries are so low.

    €14,000 for a bike, it wasn't as big a wad of cash as I'd hoped. There's rarely any reason to carry much cash. I'm not sure I'd like to be carrying around more than a few hundred as I frequently lose things.

    The most was 1.6 million Punts, in bearer bonds. Wasn't mine unfortunately :(

    The most I had on me in cash was about €11,000 when I was buying a motorbike.

    I had a €500 note once, and it was mine.

    A useless note alltogether. Nowhere accepts them.
