#2 HGTV's House Hunters International featured a couple, in the last year, buying a place in Buenos Aires. At the conclusion they're walking to the contract signing carrying fifty thousand in American cash to make the down payment. How he got that amount out of the States in cash is probably an interesting story as well. Then again, they were relocating from Aspen.

#4 When South Vietnam fell the banks were taken over and all money was confiscated. One who got out said he at one time had $10,000 dollars he just carried around on himself. He tried to get out several times as I recall three times along with his two sisters. He and a sister were caught and torchered.
The sister caught died. When times are tough cash is king. Afghans don't trust the banks either as can be seen now. When governments do this they make the underground economy much stronger.
