I have bank accounts in two different countries.  I can either wire money between accounts, or use my ATM card to withdraw money from one country and deposit it in another.

I am also considering setting up Bitcoin exchange accounts in both countries...

That's actually seems good, I'll look it up if it has some regulations.

The problem with mailing it is it has to go thru customs. You will have the same exact problem.. or worse, customs will probably put your money in their pocket.

Or you can always buy bitcoins, go to where ever you're going and have a pre-planned trade agreement with someone.

You also have to pay attention to the currency conversion amount. Let's say you take 10,000 Euros into the US as cash on a plane. Well that's over 10,000 USD so they will seize all of it. This happens all the time Canada/USA cross border when somebody writes "10,000" on the customs paper and forgets to include the currency symbol. The box is USD only. If your CAD is worth just $0.20 over it's all getting seized.

Diamond, gourmet mushroom and gold traders routinely get on planes with bags full of cash to buy commodities will have to figure out how they do it (legally) if you want to attempt this or encrypt your wallet, upload it somewhere and get at it later after crossing the border
Another reason of why bitcoin is better!

I understand that in some way this is to prevent illicit activities etc, but it's hard to believe (for me) that you can't transport your own fucking money without telling the government.

Hi,

I've been reading upon crossing the borders with money lately.
I'm trying to inform myself about the laws and regulations about the transport of money.

From what I've read, there is a maximum of €10,000  that you can transport over the borders WITHOUT registering it first.
(This is a regulations withing Europe)

I understand that in some way this is to prevent illicit activities etc, but it's hard to believe (for me) that you can't transport your own fucking money without telling the government.

Does anyone have more input on this subject (laws, regulations?)
