I’ve run deposits for a business before (always with a buddy), so it was not uncommon for me to carry somewhere between 2 and 10 thousand bucks. Like XJETGIRLX, I generally thought about running it all to Atlantic City like Lucas and declaring that I was saving the store as a defense.
$10.000, of which half was in five nice, crisp $1000 bills. All mine. I’d just sold one house and bought another and that ten grand, plus twelve more in the bank, was the difference. We bought two used cars and some other crap and basicly lived off it for a couple of months. It was right at Christmas too. The kids got brand new bikes that year! 
In 2003 when I first started working in Iraq, we would regularly shuttle funds from Kuwait to Baghdad for the projects. We would have $100,000 to $150,000 in each run and we would drive from Kuwait to Basra, overnight there and then drive to Baghdad in the morning.
In Afghanistan we were working with a local contractor to print some textbooks. I can’t remember the exact details, but we each had to put up $50k in a bank account and when the deal was done, we could withdraw it. So we bring our $50k and they bring their $50k and theirs is all like in 20s and fives. I sat in the counting room while the Afghans at the bank counted it by hand. Twice. Then their tea break came and they all kind of wandered off and left me alone in the counting room with not just our $100k, but ten of thousands (hundreds, maybe) of other people’s money. It is how I bought my house (I kid, I kid).
Working in real estate, I see that type of money all the time. The two cases that stand out are the guy who brought in $25K in a Tower Records bag (he later went to prison for screwing with American Express to the tune of $373K), and for sheer volume, the lovely people who brought in a Hefty Bag containing $4,975 in unbundled five dollar bills. They had to count it, I had to count it, the Big Boss had to count it.
Both my Supervisor and the BB were away on the first week of a month. I collected $16K in cash, and gave it all to them the second week. I did get a free lunch.
Anybody who’s ever managed a pizza joint carries a lot of cash of to the bank for their boss.
Maybe I misread the OP but I think it’s supposed to be your own money.
I think I carried around $2400 for a few days once back in the late 90s. I was buying a new computer, but also went on a small spending spree while I waited for it to be built.
I had approximately $90,000 with me one day. It wasn’t very long, one a short drive to the bank. I worked at Toys R Us while in college and one chrimstmas season day, we had WAY too much cash in the store. The manager asked me if I would go make a deposit at the bank…
I worked at a bank one summer. That was the most money I have ever “played” with at a time… I routinely had about $120,000 in my possesion at any given time… Now, I never left the bank with it, but it was fun to play with… Kinda like monopoly before the debit cards…
On a trip to the USA in 2004 I had £2500 in cash and about £3000 in traveller cheques.
I was there for 5 weeks and returned home with just over £500 and loads of great and expensive memories.
Yep I’m a spendthrift
$12,000 in $100 bills. I worked for a contractor who would give project managers petty cash for the job sites - usually $1000 for a month. We had a few projects going on that were expected to last 3-4 months, so they had me get the cash all at once. Thankfully, it was only 1.5 miles from the office to the bank.
The OP asks “Was it your money?” and several post mention company cash.
My own money would be $5,000 on a cross country bus trip.
One time I won about $1400 playing blackjack and the casino cashes out (at that level) in all cash…
Every year we get donations from major companies for our nfp. At least two of them give cash. One of them brings me about $10,000, every year, in bills and change and stuff.
Another hands me his money Walk Day. Not as much, but he probably hands me $2 to $3,000 in sweaty bills - after the banking has been done. So I have to walk around with this stuff glued to my person.
I’ve never had that much money of my own.
$1000
Cash the insurance perscription rembursment check.
Go to the pharmacy and buy half my monthly medications.
Have no money.
It was fun to watch the peoples eyes bug out, when counting out 10 hundred dollar bills. I didn’t bother with a check, because I normaly needed the perscriptions filled when the rembursement came.
About $80,000, in a brown paper bag heading to the bank. I worked as the head cashier for a liquer store and it had been a long 4-day holiday weekend.
Strangely enough, I wasn’t really even nervous until I had to park by, and go into the bank. Before that, I figured people probably though I had a couple six packs in there…
I regularly carried around $10,000 while waiting to pay people. Cash society and all. Nowadays I’ll have $400 on me on a weekly basis.

$4500. It was how I bought my first real (AKA running reliably) car.
It seems as though any time in memory that I carried over $1000, it was for a vehicle (a car or a motorcycle).
With credit cards, I rarely have over forty bucks on me at any given time nowaways.
Largest in terms of US dollar count: a little over $4000.
Largest in terms of physical size: the night I walked out of a casino in Jarkarta, Indonesia with just over 1.2 million rupiah.
I hadn’t even thought of the bank deposits, because it’s not the same as when you get to handle the bills. I figured that the bag of coin I came back with would make a good black jack.
So how many wheelbarrows full is that.
$3000 of my own cash. $11,000 company cash.
