What is the best way to bring cash BACK from a trip abroad?

i will be working abroad (live in US, will be working in europe for 10 days), and want to convert the cash i will make into a device that is safe to carry (replaceable if lost or stolen) and deposit into my account when i return. is there such a thing? a bank check? international travellers checks?


thanks in advance!

Electronic transfer............easy.............
Reply:why are you trying to bring cash back? You know there is a limit to how much cash you can bring back without paying a customs tax. Why don't you just have the employer make the check out in US dollars, if it is a large company, that might be possible. If that doesn't work, wire the money from Europe to the US. Bringing cash, whatever currency, in large amount is just unecessary and dangerous.
Reply:When left for college after leaving home in the Philippines (my parents were missionaries) my Mom sewed my money into my underwear by creating little pockets all over them! Of course I had to destroy the underwear in order to get the money out but it was safe and secure.
Reply:probably not stuffed into those condoms filled with heroin you swallowed!!! yokyok! (wire the $$$ to yourself Western Union and pick it up when you arrive at your home airport. nothing to carry or lose)
Reply:theres an MO money order or travellers cheques
Reply:They do have checks and travelers checks in Europe too. Why not just transfer it electronically?
Reply:try a locked suitcase... or transfer it to your bank account... europe is a very busy place... good luck with that.... haha. i attempted to help?
