Went to my local Credit Union (fairly large with about 4 branches) Need 7K to pay a contractor. I cleaned them out of 100's (5K) then cleaned them out of 50's ((2k). Large amounts of money are not kept on hand anymore.
Teller told me if it was 10K I wanted they'd have to report the withdraw to the Fed's.
Hiding cash has it's problems, after X number of years you forget, someone else finds it, it's lost in a fire or flood or tornado. Bank Safety Deposit Box is about as good as it gets.
