Accepting Large Sums of Cash

I’m currently accepting large sums of cash if anyone has any spare....
I took a cash payment of 3 grand for a car I sold a couple of years ago,went to pay it in to the halifax and got the 20 questions,then when the cashier was counting it out she said she thought one of the £50 notes was counterfeit as it didn't feel right,she tried about 3 pens and a uv light,then gave up as it passed them all,made me panic for a minute as I thought i'd been done out of 50 quid!

Hah that was my neurotic fear at the time. Take a wad of cash to the bank for them to tell me it's full of fake notes. Then I'd have to go back to the waiting buyer and tell him they just seized half his money.
Can anyone vouch for you? We don't believe you sir. I had a fake note come from the bank that they handed over a couple of years back so they do miss dodgy notes themselves..... eejits.I took a wad out afew weeks back but never spent it , never even opened the envelope, can’t wait to deposit it back to the bank ..., yes sir how can I help ... I’d like to deposit 2.5k .... ah hum sir may I ask where you got this from ..yes that would be you
I have had both sides of this to fund a project that I had to sell my pride and joys to pay for.
Sold a pin on here £6k cash delivered to a trusted seller which the day after the builder happily took it from me. I did worry about driving home and getting stopped as I watch too much police interceptors.
Then selling a machine with the person at my house and machine loaded in there van and had the bank do security checks and take 2 hours of phone calls and messing around for £5k if only they had done it in £1k transactions probably wouldn't of had the hassle.
There's no easy answer what's better I don't think. Just my thoughts,

I once was given almost 8K in used fivers in a Sainsbury’s carrier bag because some unlicensed asshat hit my car. my bank wouldn’t take it and said anything over 5K they won’t accept. So I told them to close the account and give me my money. The guy was are you serious - yes - much to and froing and they accepted the cash.

Back in the late 90s I had to go and meet my ex boss at Heathrow with the best part of 30k in cash and a suitcase.
In return he gave me a second suitcase and flew back out of the country.
All totally legit but try explaining that one away to the authorities.
Running stalls at weekend gigs would regularly see me having 10k plus in used notes shoved in the pockets of my jacket when we went out to clubs and drinking. One of my friends in a similar business was pulled over by the police on a Sunday night after getting charged with”assault with a frozen pizza”. Whilst being booked he had to turn out his pockets. 5k in one, 7k in the other. The police took quite an interest when they counted it whereas Andy decided to go ballistic that the police “were mixing up his money as he’d separated it for a reason”.
it’s strange what behaviour seems normal when you do it day in day out. I miss the weirdness of those days

This is absolute gold
I’m guessing the cash didn’t matter cos you’re gonna rot in the slammer for decades on that charge
I can pay cash into my Santander account at the village Post Office where they know me - never get asked anything, and there is no charge for the service
Can't believe we've made it this far without anyone mentioning bitcoin yet. Be your own banker, join the revolution
Absolute joke that HSBC should say anything to anyone about paying cash into their accounts after their track record......
I’ve just changed my add on autotrader to excepting cash, let’s see if I get any bad boys trying to get rid of £20k of their cash
An operator once paid me £1500 in £1 coins. At the time this was a real pain in the ass . Now we have the club , having 4 figures in coins just seems normal!
I’ll leave that to the Bitcoin bankersCan't believe we've made it this far without anyone mentioning bitcoin yet. Be your own banker, join the revolution
I remember buying sf2 I had it in the van when the op wanted to check the coin box , must have had 150 in pound coins in , grrr
Some shops have a notice up here that they are not accepted, I need to find a restaurant here that says that and have a feed up
i accept cash. i can launder it at at 25% commission rate. just pm me and i’ll get my boys round to collect it.
hope no one on here works for the tax office ......Can't believe we've made it this far without anyone mentioning bitcoin yet. Be your own banker, join the revolution
old £20,s maybe you will ....the day is coming when its the final countI’ve just changed my add on autotrader to excepting cash, let’s see if I get any bad boys trying to get rid of £20k of their cash
50’s changing soon, but they will just buy more work or a usb stick with crypto on it.
South African relatives of mine went on a European holiday. God knows why, but in the currency they had exchanged in their home country was a 500 Euro note.
These things are known as "Bin Ladens" as basically only organised crime and terrorists use them. Folk know what they exist, have seen an old photo about what they look like, but noone has ever seen one in the flesh.
They tried various places when they were in Europe and none would touch it. They felt that it was pointless taking it back to South Africa when even Europeans would not accept it.
They left the damned thing with us to deal with, I would not "buy it" but we felt under a moral obligation to convert the damned thing for them.
No UK bureau de change or bank would touch this essentially uncirculated note.
We ended up taking it to Tenerife. Some Spanish banks use fancy machines when you deposit cash to verify the notes. We had to try a few places and ultimately found a Caixa that would take it.
A right PITA.

I love £50s
I often give one as a present to my kids for bday and they enjoy the challenge of spending them in a shop!! Hilarious!! The looks they get!its not even like £50 is a lot these days in the general sceme of things either is it?? I’ve said before but cash machines should have had £50 added as general use and new higher notes should been added years back. It’s ruined now though and we are all stuck using £20’s as the highest denomination. Rediculous.
and we just got Turin on the £50 aswell

There’s a Barclays cash machine outside a branch in Shorditch Central London that used to dispense £50 notes so know they have done on the past and the HippodromeCasino in London there’s cash machines inside only dispense £50 can’t imagine why lol.

The Shorditch one still does dispense £50 notes. less of a problem now that the vast majority of pub sales are now stuck onto cards.
on the other end of the spectrum all the machines near my work in Tower Hamlets are programmed for £5. (Never had that elsewhere in London)

It just seems bizarre that we are still talking about 'oooh £50 notes, scary'. Fair enough in 1982 but not now... Not sure £50 would get you very far anyway on a afternoon/night out in leeds either!
