Money and Other Monetary Instruments

You may bring into or take out of the country, including by mail, as much money as you wish. However, if it is more than $10,000, you will need to report it to CBP. Ask the CBP officer for the Currency Reporting Form (FinCen 105). The penalties for non-compliance can be severe.

“Money” means monetary instruments and includes U.S. or foreign coins currently in circulation, currency, traveler’s checks in any form, money orders, and negotiable instruments or investment securities in bearer form.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

I am sure this must have been asked a million times and for asking again, I apologise :whistle:

When you are finally leaving to go "home" how much cash in dollars can you carry on board.

is it $10,000 each person or $10,000 per couple

Thanks in advance (thinking ahead here folks :lol: )

Val

My answer is not to bring $10k in cash anywhere! There has to be a safer alternative for you.

flipside, yes. Something about it beinga an official bank check, and it being made out to myself and I was carrying it. :blink::blink: I am sure when it was cashed outside the US they would receive notification of where it came from and who cashed it as those checks take 40 days + to "clear". I tried atleast.

Interesting that customs blew you off like that. Usually they're pretty strict.

It doesn't neccesarily mean 'cash'.
