I am not sure, but it seems to me that there is some sort of currency
control laws that say that you cannot have 10K or mor ein oyur possession
unless you show there is a good reason, like on your way to the bank,
being abusiness heading for the bank atthe end of the day etc, and of
course banks report deposits of 10K or more. I know of two different
people who were not 'in business' who did perfectly legal transactions
that left them with 32K and 47K in cash each instead of big checks and
who simply deposited it. One recieved a phone call and the other a visit
by IRS asking 'what, why, where' etc within two weeks of depositing money.

Well it is none of their dam business how much money I have, what form it
takes, or what I choose to do with it. If I want to fill my trunk up with
Krugerands and drive cross-country with them why should it be the business
of some LEA thug??
Officer: "Why do you have a trunk full of Krugerands??"
Citizen: "None of your dam business!!"
IRS THUG: "Why do you have a trunk full of Krugerands??"
Citizen: "None of your dam business!!"
BTW: Does anyone know if the Platinum American Eagle was issued yet? Last
I heard it was scheduled for release in October.
