Financial institutions are required to file a "Cash Transaction Report" any time a $ 10,000 or more in cash is used. I learned this from my days working in a casino. If a customer got a payout or payouts totaling over 10G in a 24 hour period, an CTR was filed. I understand banks, auto dealers, etc, fall under this rule too. If you got your money by check, not required to file. Changing a bill was no big deal. The cashiers did it all the time no questions asked. Now they have machines which take big bills and dispense smaller bills. Sounds like your banker was waaaay off base here! Mark
