He did write he worked with lead for a long time.WHAT?
Trust but verify.Had a friend that was given a wad of fake bills with real ones on top and bottom. Just before he signed the title he decided to count the money and found fake bills. Beware, treat everyone as a thief unfortunately.
I ran across the problem of not able to pay cash when we went to buy my wife's 2004 Civic. I wanted to pay cash, the dealership set up a big fuss and said the laws wouldn't let them.
I also had a near problem taking "cash" out of the country.
I was on my way to Korea in support of a military exercise, circa 1990. I got stopped on the runway to the shuttle bus in LA. A Fed, Customs if IIRC, wanted to know how much money I had on me. Now I'm not accustomed to lying so I told him I didn't know. But I knew it was a lot because I was going to be staying in Korea for almost two months and my travel office had issued me travelers checks for the entire trip, and the daily per diem rate was like $100. Plus I had been saving for months to buy stuff, like brass beds, suits etc.
Anyways he made me go through all my belongings pulling out American Express Travellers checks. IIRC I came up with about $9K. He read me a riot act lecture about not travelling with that much cash, but it was under the 10K limit.
