Aug 13th, 2014 - 09:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Better keep these dogs away form the Casa Rosada, they might overdose on the smell of dollars hidden there.
Aug 13th, 2014 - 11:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0They are trained when they find pesos to take a dump!
Aug 13th, 2014 - 12:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Going to be hard for someone to explain this one to AFIP
Everyday their rights are being taken away. I wonder when the Rg will wake up?

Only Argentina...
Aug 13th, 2014 - 04:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As time goes on the amounts involved will reduce. In 2 years time they will be arresting people trying to leave the country with 5 dollars in hard currency.

Aug 13th, 2014 - 06:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Having DRUGS is illegal, but why demonize money? . . .
Why MUST our money be kept in a bank ?. . . when the criminal BANKS are caught over and over laundering HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS!!!
Give that dog a bone. According to the article the guy had 93,000 dollars on him and subsequent mention was made of only 85,000. Was the other 6,500 “deducted at source?”
Aug 13th, 2014 - 09:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No doubt the 85 thou will probabably be disappeared to the Seychelles bank account of you know who or some other political vulture preying on the motherland.
Actually don't all countries ask you to declare amounts of money when you leave. Past a certain amount.
Aug 13th, 2014 - 10:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In Australia I think it is A$10,000.
Though we don't have dogs trained to sniff it out as far as I know. It does sound very autocratic. I'm wondering if Larishka can be retrained to sniff out people for when restrictions get really tight.

Aug 13th, 2014 - 11:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When we went to Adelaide some eight years ago all the passengers were checked by two dogs, I can't remember any dogs on the way out.
We were told it was drugs they were looking for but I think that was not the entire truth.
Australia, quite rightly, maintains a tight cordon to prevent foreign plants and animals from reaching the country and I suspect that was the real reason.

Many of the people from countries in Asia are worried that they will be unable to find food they are used to and this can mean digging up some herb from their garden and putting it in a plastic bag in their suitcase.

Aug 14th, 2014 - 10:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0In the US it's $10'000, but if there are three of you....30k....
...done it lots of times so it's legit...
13. Its 10K per I-20 so if your “family” and traveling together its capped at 10K.

Aug 14th, 2014 - 02:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are wrong...I have done it..it's an individual allowance and it's easier than a transfer....the figure on a bank transfer is the same 10 k but..it's a lie, anything more than 5k is flagged...
I know these bloody things as a foreigner...how the hell would you know being a Yank...it's not like you would have had any experience of trying to take dollars into the place you live....
Whereas the amounts of money I've had to throw at that property have put me in a position of having to experience it, whilst at the same time being within the letter of the law....
I leave a paper trail right back to where I exchanged pounds for dollars...it's the best way...
15. You are so stupid...
Aug 14th, 2014 - 02:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If persons traveling together have $10,000 or more, they cannot divide the currency between each other to avoid declaring the currency. For example, if one person is carrying $5,000 and the other has $6,000, they have a total of $11, 000 in their possession and must report it.

....read this and note the obvious loophole...Doh!
It's from the Govt site...
There is no limit on the amount of money that can be taken out of or brought into the United States. However, if a person or persons traveling together and filing a joint declaration (CBP Form 6059-B) have $10,000 or more in currency or negotiable monetary instruments, they must fill out a “Report of International Transportation of Currency and Monetary Instruments” FinCEN 105 (former CF 4790).
...filing a joint declaration (CBP Form 6059-B)
..it's quite simple...you don't sign a joint declaration...it's a different form...
You do have a choice you know...when they come round on the plane issuing them...
Stupid boy....
Actually No you don't have a choice, if you are traveling together you must use 1 declaration form if you're related.

There is no legal obligation to state that you are travelling with someone...what a plonker....
Yes it is the law if you are traveling together as a family.
