How much cash can you carry travelling around US?

Answer 1

It is legal to carry any amount of cash, but quite imprudent to do so. The money would be suspected illegal and seized and then you have to hire a lawyer to fight for its return. Banks are required to report all cash transactions of more than $10,000.

Carrying Cash During Air Travel:

There is no limit to the amount of cash that may be carried on any flight, either domestic or international or any other means of crossing the border. The people who are saying that there is a limit on international flights or international travel of any means are not correct -- for international travel arriving in or departing from the US, you may carry as much cash as you'd like; however, any amounts in excess of $10,000 must be declared to US Customs either upon departure or upon arrival.

Answer 2

There is no limit to the amount of cash you are legally allowed to carry.

However, if you are stopped for another reason, and the police discover that you are carrying a large amount of cash, they may suspect you of some criminal activity, such as involvement in the drug trade.

Additionally, if you are robbed, there is no way to recover the cash. For security purposes, it is best to deposit the cash in a bank account or use traveler's checks.

Answer 3

You may carry as much cash as you like, at least in practical terms.

The Law requires all cash transactions over a certain amount ($10.000 usually)to be reported, but again they are not against the law.

The Law can sieze large cash amounts and hold them until the source has been identified. This is part of the anti crime and anti money laundering laws.

While effective this is in my opinion an asault on my personal Rights. But I use my credit card for everything anyway.
