there are anti laundering laws that stipulate how much you can carry in cash. why ? because fraudsters likes carrying money in cash and not lodge in banks so that they can beat law enforcement agents.
besides in saner climates, your keeping money in the bank also generate money for the government in form of charges and tax.

So if you don't have anything to hide, why hide money and conceal them instead of declaring them.

She plan to tour the world or maybe she's a citizen of the world.

no time for dulling

she wants to tour the world. so she changed all the money according to the countries. she go de jump from country to country. very simple
