Big wads of cash
I'm leaving tomorrow morning for the caribbean poker champs in St. Kitts. I plan to play in a bunch of smaller tourneys and cash games leading up to the main event. I am bringing $6,000 in cash. The dumb lady at the bank gave me about half of that in $50's so the wad is even thicker than it should be.
My question is this: What is the easiest way to carry the cash? ie. in pocket, laptop bag, checked-in bag, etc. My concerns are safety and convenience. |

Re: Big wads of cash
Wrap it in a rubber hand or a hair scruncy and put it in your pocket when you go through security. I definitly wouldn't put it in either a carry on or checked bag.

Get some American Express Traveler's Checks. I took them to Antigua & St. Lucia on my honeymoon. They are as good as cash without the enormous wad. Also, if they get lost/stolen, you can get reimbursed.

Pocket(s), no paper clips and you'll be fine.

Have you ever carried cash before? How do you usually carry it? ie. in pocket, What a crazy idea. laptop bag, Yeah, because those all open at the security gate, so everyone will know how cool you are carrying a lot of money. Plus, if the on board baggage is full, and they want to store your bag below, you can announce in a loud voice "Be careful, this bag has a lot of money in it". If you throw it in the overbin, no one would ever take your bag by mistake. It would be much harder for someone to steal a bag you are carrying, then get something out of your pocket. checked-in bag, etc. Yes, because then it will be out of your sight, and besides, the airlines NEVER lose luggage. |

Re: Big wads of cash
I've carried enormous wads of cash in this:

I recommend a large burlap sack with a dollar sign printed on the front.
