What is the highest amount of paper notes you have carried about?

Trush Jodie · Feb 25, 2025

There are situations that might warrant you to carry physical paper notes from one place to another. The rise of electronic money transfer has erdoed the need to carry cash around.

What is the highest amount of cash as in physical notes that you have carried about?

I have carried more than $100 and even more too as early on I used to carry cash but have stopped and now prefer to pay online or via my credit card

I recent times, I have carried as much as $300 in paper notes. It was necessary I carried it because the transaction demanded cash.

Am not sure though but i think it should be around $200 plus or there about. I was going to pay for something.

I always have a few hundred dollar notes in my wallet just in case I need to buy something from stores which only accept cash. Also, most taxis here just accept cash payment.

I have always been carrying a minimum of 10 dollar notes equivalent around. That's in case bank network fails for electronic transfer and I need something urgently.

That's quite a high amount. So you carried for a transaction where the seller was not interested in online payments? Can I ask what sort of seller is this?

There are so many sellers in my own country that don't like bank transfers and any form of electronic transactions. Those ones in rural areas are typical examples.

The highest amount of paper notes that I can carry about now is $50. And that is even very rare. Financial dealings are electronic for me.

One reason to not opt for is to not to pay the taxes because with cash nobody will know that they have sold the material and they can easily evade taxes

it should be about 200,000 Naira where i went to buy a deep freezer and I had the money at home. I didn't see the need for a trsnsfer

I have carried more also in the early days when there was no online thing and most prefer to get payments via cash only

Nomad · Mar 5, 2025

I have carried around 400,000 in local currency and it was equivalent to around $4000. That was about 10 years ago

Things have changed and now not many people carry cash and those carry cash is for sellers that don't accept payment online or they are trying to not get caught by tax departments.
