Sixteen USD. I get a hundred when I’m running low, just for WAM (walk around money). But generally don’t get money out that often. All my purchases are on credit cards for the miles. ---

[QUOTE=Nawth Chucka] Is that like the Deathstar? [/QUOTE] Yes, yes it is. While the contractors working on the Death Star should have known about the dangers working aboard an interstellar combat vessel, the midgets that sort and count the coins in the Coin Star™ must be well aware of the dangers–especially when the giant Coin Star™ laser powers up and vaporizes the cashier at aisle 6.

About A$180. A$200 is my normal ATM withdrawal for getting by. I withdraw more for larger periodic expenses. ---

I’ve got US$110. That’s more than I usually carry (but not[the most](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=389013) (of my own, that is)). If I’d seen this thread an hour ago, I could have included 500,000 Indonesian rupiah, but I’ve safely deposited them in my sock drawer for the next week and a half. ---

$0. I honestly can’t remember the last time I had actual money on me. I use my debit card for everything, and basically just don’t frequest places that are cash only. It’s amazing how fast of a transition you can make to cash-less-ness. Only 2 years ago I can remember thinking “Debit cards and direct deposit? How the heck will I keep track of how much I have? I’ll always use cash!” ---
