Well my opinion is not really relevant here since I touch a lot of money at work, but how much money have you had in your hands? I mean cash, of course, not checks nor similar, just money. Trust me that it'll have to be a lot to beat me lol. So please let me know, what's the highest amount of money you've ever had in your hands?

The highest amount of straight up cash, that belonged to me, that I've had in my hands was $1600. The largest amount of cash that I've had in my hands because of work was over $15000. I used to work for an investment firm and our branch accepted cash deposits. We had a client come in one day to make deposits into each of his familys accounts in cash.

The most I've ever had in my hands was 42.000. I had to walk from the bank to my car which was about ten minutes away through a busy street. It was the most terrifying ten minutes of my life even though I was the only one who knew it was in my bag!!! I held onto to that bag for dear life!! :-)

i work as a cashier in one big retail company and the biggest amount of cash i had ever had in my hand is i think about $11,000... that really scares me as i am afraid of being robbed... usually if i have that much money in my til, i straight away send it to the cash office via a clearance machine so that i will feel safer... as for my own cash, i think the most i had ever had in my hand is $2,000...

The most in my hands would be around 250k but that is because i could not hold more than that but one time I ha 3 million in my trunk. I worked for a company that refilled ATM's and had to drive money to a partnere company and that was all their refill cash. But I would never work for a company like that again because they accused me of stealing 200k after I had not worked there for 2 years. Lucky the police very quickly cleared me.

Hmmm I've had close to $100,000 at work. I only normally handle about $10,000 at a time at work, but depending on what's going on there are times when I can't get rid of excess cash, or I wind up with extra money responsibility one way or another. Still, that's a lot of money to me, considering my personal money at any given time is more like $20-$40 on my person. :P

I worked as an accountant for a shipping company many years ago and part of my job to secure the cash. There was time that we didnt have work for 4 days so the banks were closed too. being in the transportation business means its very liquid and people pay in COLD CASH. When I opened the vault saturday morning... we counted over P1,200,000 cash. How relieved I was that I were able to arrange with the bank to pick up our collections that day even if its non-working day(saturday), if not, i many not be able to sleep well that night.

Of my own personal money I think the most I have held at one time is around $4000. At a job, probably twice that at any one given time, but over the course of a week or even a money that number really adds up.
