What's the most cash you have ever carried around?

Actual cash was £17,000

Most valuable cheque was for €210,000.

Didn't even get to do the pretend shower cleaning under my arms with it.

€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.

Raleigh Chopper?

Maybe 5-6k a few times.

Edit: just remembered I used to work in a bank where my job was carrying around millions in cash.

Back during the boom i had a tiler over doing a half a days work on the house, he demanded cash payment, i was very nervous carrying the €30,000 over to pay him.

I hope the tiles were made from his teeth

10k loan for a car, put it into my wallet and it wouldn't fold, fun times!

Used to have deposit 10-15k from a pub into the banks night safe in Tooting London, its was the dodgiest area and i was always bricking it. We always went in two's but there wasn't much comfort since the other guy was more nervous than me.

Would have taken upwards of 100k to the bank for my current job. Would always be during the day and i could normally park within yards of the bank, so never a need to be nervous.

My own money, i don't think i ever had more than about 10k.

£4000 buying a car... had to get the train there and back so was a big nervous. That's a lot of money for a student so I would happily have taken a few punches to hold on to it. Thankfully all went well.

€30,000. My uncle was taken in to hospital suddenly, he lives alone. I went to see him and he asked me to go to a certain location in his house and get a box and mind it for him. I was bricking it for a month until he came home.

€23,000 to buy a car back in the good ol days (still have the car and it better run for the next 20 years!) Took the money from the bank on a Friday to buy the car on Saturday.

Drove home from the bank and parked in my neighbours drive as they were on holidays for 3 weeks and our drive was full. It would be pretty common practise in our estate as parking was limited to say the least. Stayed parked there on my phone for maybe 15 minutes, then went into my own house.

Long story longer about 11pm I'm in bed and I hear the house alarm next door go off. I get up and dressed, woke up a housemate and we go to check it out. The house next door had been broken into. My car was still in their drive. I rang the guards and explained the whole situation. They checked the CCTV at the bank the next day and there was a member of a certain community watching me the entire time. Apparantly he did no banking in the bank and left immediately after me. The guards believed he followed me home. I only live about 4 minute drive from the bank. He's never been caught or identified as far as I'm aware.

Lucky for me I parked in my neighbours drive or god knows what would have happened..unlucky for them they came home from Lanzarote to a broken lock on their patio door, although nothing was taken, the place was turned upside down. I apologised and they were very understanding about it because they used to park in our drive at the weekends if they had guests.

I know people are probably not going to believe that it happened and anyone who knows me will now know my username but I don't care...take it as a word of warning people...bank drafts all the way

11k buying a car and bricking it every step of the way even though the bank was only about 10 minutes away.

Left in the house for a day or two and then again on the way to the garage. All I could hear was the James Bond theme playing in my head while I tried my best not to be seen by anyone or anything..

About €4,800! Was collecting it one evening from four different bookmakers. Nice to get the money but you want to count it when they hand it over the counter but at the same time you don't want to draw any attention to your 'wad' from other customers in the shop. First thing the next morn my share was in the bank!

Around €30,000. Just carried it up town from the shop I worked in as far as the bank after a Bank Holiday weekend. Wasn't a bit worried either as it wasn't my money. If it had been, well then I'd have been bricking it.

A 100k bank draft to bring from one bank to another. not cash no, but still pertrified with it in my pocket.
