$2000.

Dad gave it to me when I went to college. Said that I was not to see him for any money problems for at least a year. Lets just say books and mandatory health insurance took about $1500 of it.

I hope you got a job instead of asking him for more money.

As for me, I can't remember. Probably around $600-$700 though. Checks, on the other hand, are another story. I've held a $300,000 check! :)

I was responsible for +/-$600,000 when I was a head teller. The most I have actually held in my hand at once is whatever a brick of brand new 20's from the Fed amounts too, it's been so long I forgot how many packs of $2000 are in 1 of those bricks.

good greif!!! seen the money printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing....but that was through 2" glass.....maybe I should become a bank teller!!!;)

But the most I have held is about $3000 in various bills for fundrasing awhile back....In this day and age....dont have a need to have more than a hundred in cash under normal circumstances....

Better yet, what's the most of your own money that you have held in cash at one time? For me it was about $7,000.

Working at Charles Schwab, I once had deposit checks totaling $2.2 million. Typical was $800k-1.5M. Made my paycheck seem... insignificant.
