@MadMortician - I stand corrected on the limit (I was looking at an older version of the bill; the final limit was bumped up), but "shipment" in that document also refers to carrying things with you. So, it's $100 worth per "granular trip." If it's one person, that means you can only carry $100 worth at a time across the border. If it's a shipment, only $100 worth per parcel.
@shonit123 -
However, I think that once you get up to $1000 or so (in currency other than nickels and pennies) then you have to deal with customs. (But that I'd have to look up.) :-)Aha! Here you go:
On the Canadian end:

If you are carrying a total of CAN$10,000 (or its equivalent) or more - in coins, domestic and foreign bank notes, securities such as travellers cheques, stocks and bonds - you must complete a Cross-Border Currency or Monetary Instruments Report
On the US end:

It is legal to transport any amount of currency or other monetary instruments
into or out of the United States. However, if you transport, attempt to transport,
or cause to be transported (including by mail or other means) currency or other
monetary instruments in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000 or its foreign
equivalent) at one time from the United States to any foreign country, or into the
United States from any foreign country, you must file a report with U.S. Customs
and Border Protection.
