When you said you paid cash, you paid all ~7.5k€ in paper money? How do you get that much cash out of your bank?

- devilbunny 10mo agoPresumably by going there, showing your ID, and withdrawing it? They might make you wait a day to have that much on hand, but not more than that.
- leipert 10mo agoWe are talking Germany here. People buy cars in cash. You don’t even have to necessarily wait a day.
- devilbunny 10mo agoTrue, which is why I said “might”. Even in the US. I only have to call ahead if I want smaller bills - $20 and $100 they usually have plenty of unless it’s a tiny branch.
- baud147258 10mo agook, I guess. I just never handled that many. I would also have though that the bank might ask questions
- devilbunny 10mo agoCash deposits or withdrawals over $10k in the US will be reported to the Treasury but if you don’t do them often it won’t raise a big flag, and the bank doesn’t care what you do with it. Treasury only cares if they think you are trying to evade taxes. In Germany, where large items are often purchased with cash, it would be unremarkable if you did it several times a year.
- dnhkng 10mo agoSure, its a free country! (I'm Australian, living in Germany).
