Is it a crime to own those currencies?

Some people collect world currencies as hobbies naa

It is a crime to have that kind of amount of money undeclared when travelling internationally. Especially when it is in cash like that. Don't dare try that when coming to the U.S.A. or you'll be flagged as a financier of terrorism or something worse.

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday, arraigned a businesswoman before a Federal High Court for allegedly concealing 35 different currencies in her luggage.

Olawunmi Akinyanjuola Olatara was about boarding a flight from Nigeria to New York, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on January 24, when immigration officials allegedly discovered the concealed currencies in her possession during outward clearance of passengers.

She was arrested and handed over to operatives of EFCC.

The currencies allegedly retrieved from her were £26,420, $5,000, 1,320 Poland Zloty, RS 715 Brazillian real, 965,000 Korean Won, 10,000 Malaysian Ringgit, 2,920 Isreal Shekel, $13,218 American dollars, 394 Japanese Yen, 76,550 Kenyan Shillings, 1,920 New Zeland Dollars, 27,000 Iraqi Diner, RM 392 Malaysian Ringit, 500 Norway Krone, 2,000 Thailand Baht, MAD 260 Moroccan Dirham, QR 159, Qatari Riyal, CHF 250 Swiss Franc, 1,200 Taiwan Dollar, 6,360 Indian Rupees, 3,930 Egyptian Pounds, 6410 Russian Rubble, RS20 Brazil Real, 105 Turkish Lira, LD 26,000 Libyan Dinar, 1,000 Hong Kong Dollars, $50 American Dollars, DT 250 Tunisian Lira, 18 Saudi Arabia Riyal, BD 7.5 Bahrain, Rp 158 Indonesian Rupiah, 50 Phillipine Peso, 50 Sudanese Pounds and 1,515 Pakistan Rupee.

No. It is not an offence. However, she is suppose to have declare the amount of money in her luggage , to the immigration officials.

Re: New York-bound Passenger Arraigned For Hiding 34 Different Currencies In Luggage by Roadmike(m): 8:59pm On Jun 17, 2016

Really is it an offence ?

All am aware is the need to declare, though the amount may have exceeded the limits though?

But is this not a manifestation of the voodoo economy being put in place by the leader of One chance Party. Rather than emplace a proper scheme of forex just like they are attempting to initiate next week they made it so impossible, thereby encouraging patronage.

Think she just have to defend the genuineness of the source of the funds

Yes it is an offence,a traveller is to declare such at the airport when either leaving or arriving at their destination.
