Correct it is foreign money, and personal, US Government does not charge tax on that.

You have to report amounts greater than $10,000

Could depend on whether it's Sterling or Dollars but any you leave in a UK bank can be accessed and withdrawn with a debit card or wire transferred to a new US bank account.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
