Cash Deposits and International Travel

Quote: billryan

When I opened a safety box at my local bank I had to sign a form saying I'd keep less than $300 in it. Jewels, gold and other stuff is okay, just not cash. I've no idea how they enforce it.

I don't think it gets enforced. Decades ago, one of my relatives basically had a solid block of bills in one... The banker, instead of just opening the outer box door and having one of us remove the inner box, decided to be 'helpful' and take it out for us.

And promptly dropped it, because that many bills is HEAVY when unexpected. Then, instead of just apologizing and keeping his mouth shut, the banker gave a pretty glib "Wow, lots of papers in there!" comment. Needless to say, he stopped doing any banking there.

In other news, the casino may have refused to issue a fill tonight, despite the floor ordering it... Effectively forcing me to walk. ._.

Perhaps they’re low on cash …because you’ve taken it all! lol
[EDIT: I know that cruise ships try to be as cashless as possible. Just like the idea that someone can clean up!]

Thanks, Venthus, for answering my questions and the rest for their input on bank boxes.
