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.

For starters, why not specify what you want instead of passively allowing yourself to be inconvenienced by the whims of other people?

Secondly: travelers checks.

Go back to the bank and get hundreds. Then put it in your pocket.

take all the 50s back to the bank and demand pennies. no way is anyone going to steal that many pennies from you. they won't make it far even if they try. you sacrifice a tiny bit of convenience, but your security goes through the roof.

Money in your pocket, gun around your waist!

Get a strap you silly guy. Wear it around your stomach, or your chest. Or perhaps your leg. Nobody will ever see it. Then if you get jacked you can give them your wallet and run away with your 6k safely tucked under your belly.

One time I got a fanny pack and put it under my shirt/jacket against my stomach. Worked for me.

If you carry that much cash on a plane though, do you have to claim it or something? I'm not sure what the rate is, it might be like 10k though

It'll be a pain getting through customs with this much cash.

I don't think claim is the right word. You have to declare it there is a form for it, andthe threshold is 10k. Also you have to fill out the form both ways, leaving and entering the US.

Cash includes travelers checks.

So the OP is fine with his 6k. But if you carry 10k you need to fill out Customs Form 4790. It probably has different number now, though, with the migration of Customs to the Department of Homeland Security. Failure to fill out the form may result in losing all that money (or travelers checks.)

I don't see any reason why you would be hassled about it at customs though.
