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.

The most cash.The most cash I have ever carried around is about £1000. Needed to change it up for spending money on holiday.
The most cash a friend has carried round. Well, not sure how much he had, let's just say he bought a Porsche 911 with it (he is a multi millionaire).
Actually, there is a mildly amusing story behind that. He had gone down to a Porsche dealership to test drive a car, but because he was wearing his normal clothes (a knackered jumper and old jeans), the salesman was quite snooty and refused to deal with him. So, just to wind this salesman up, he went to the next dealership, bought the 911 (with the cash) and drove past the first one.
Finally, the most valuable document I have ever carried? A letter of credit for £1,000,000, which I had to deliver to a shipping company. For those that don't know, a letter of credit is a guarentee by a bank to pay for a shipment. If you know how to use them, they are as good as cash.
