Didn't know we criminalized cash.
- BlueGh0st 7y agoYou have to declare more than $10,000 IIRC when traveling over the border. When taken into account with all the other suspicious activity, it's worth a mention.
- vasco 7y agoIf that's per adult they're below the limit.
- pcdoyle 7y agoIt's per family (residing in one household). http://customsandinternationaltradelaw.com/2013/12/13/international-travelers-beware-u-s-customs-will-seize-your-money-if/#more-1578 http://customsandinternationaltradelaw.com/2013/12/13/intern...
- magic_beans 7y agoThere were two families.
- onetimemanytime 7y agoactually over $10k without declaring it. But the point is that they were not tourists that got lost. Tourists carry credit cards and all. Why would they be carrying $16,000 (USD, unless it was the equivalent of it) if they're staying in CA?

- pjc50 7y agoBasically, yes?
- magashna 7y agoNot that I agree with it, but cash definitely can be considered criminal in large amounts. Having a few hundred to a few thousand is enough to be arrested in the US, assuming you're not protected by celebrity.
- yellowapple 7y agoWe don't (and shouldn't), but I don't know of very many people who go on vacation with $16k of it. Like what the hell were they gonna spend that on? A pallet of novelty keychains?
