But how would somebody know how much you have? How do they know if you're carrying $20 or $2000? Whenever I carry large sums of cash, I usually have it in multiple pockets. I try not to 'flash' it in front of other people. If I do have to pull it out in front of others, they only see a portion of what I'm actually carrying because the rest is in other pockets. And it's not distributed equally between pockets. I may have a $500 in my right pocket, $1000 in my left pocket and $2000 in my jacket pocket, etc. Depending on the size of the purchase, I know which pocket to pull from so anybody that's looking sees as little cash as possible. I don't feel any less comfortable carrying large sums of cash than I do if I'm carrying no money at all. I just don't understand the safety concerns.

I make my wife carry the cash...it's more fun to pull it out of her pocket

+1. You wrap your two $100 bills around your wad of $1s if you want to show off your wad. You wrap your $1s around your wad of $100s if you want to hide how much you have.
