How to travel with a large amount of cash or other monetary items


If you are travelling with a large amount of cash, or other monetary instruments like traveler’s checks, money orders, and bearer bonds, you should take common sense steps to protect yourself from unwanted attention, but you should also be aware of what legal issues you may have to address. What you have to do will depend on what country you are in, or whether you are traveling internationally.

  • Divide money in different places
  • Favor on-body storage
  • Keep small bills handy
  • Carry an anti-theft bag
  • Trim your wallet
  • Use a dummy wallet
  • Buy a travel wallet
  • Adapt to the local money culture
  • If your carryon baggage must be searched, insist on keeping your bag in sight.
  • If asked about the amount of money in your baggage by a TSA agent or other responsibleauthority, tell the truth.
