Ok so today at the bar a friend of mine says a buddy he knows got busted in the airport with 10 g's in his pocket flying overseas. I said what did he get picked for a patdown? My friend Kev says no those metal detectors you walk through can also count the strips in the bills and count your cash. Cuz he was going overseas to India, you can't have that kind of $$$ on you.
I was like BS!!! He said no just like in Vegas the casinos use those in the doors when you walk in. He was being serious but i said BS!! Anyone ever heard of this at an airport or in Vegas?

sounds technically possible, but highly unlikely. Maybe though the strips do show up on xray, so a big stack of money would look like a big stack of those strips. That could tip them off. Automatically counting them would be tough though.

its against the law to carry anything over 10,000 dollars. these amounts must be declared, coming in and out of the country. and yes the metal detectors will detect the metallic strips in the currency. at least in a airport.

Last time I checked its illegal to carry over 10.000.00 into the USA not out of the USA.

I bought a car and decided to pay cash, withdrew $11,000 from the bank. They made me fill out a form that apparently gets mailed to someone, FBI, IRS, ??
Then at the car dealership, same thing, same form. They really do track cash amounts above ten grand. In my case they had the withdrawal then the purchase, so they must have figured I wasn't a drug dealer or terrorist.
And yes, since then I have learned there is such a thing as Cashiers Checks.

He's got a lot of dough but he is real dippy, he doesnt think sometimes. he's got great business smarts but sometimes a little lacking in the common sense..lol
