Ozzie Valued Member Cyprus 349 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 07:06 am Hi folks, I was wandering if there are any restrictions on how much silver/gold coins you can take with you on the plane from the USA. If tax is added on top then can you get tax refunds at the airport? Are there any limits on how much cash you can take in to the USA? Best regards, Ozzie Report this Post to the Staff

emh Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 05/17/2011 08:29 am I don't believe there is, you are just limited by weight as you will probably want to carry it with you. Also if you are carrying more than a face value of $10,000 you have to declare it on a form. If you fail to do so, either the country you are flying to or the U.S can remove the amount over $10,000 and you probably will not get it back. You would also run the risk of being detained for questioning and potentially missing your flight. Report this Post to the Staff

I like to travel with as little of value as possible. Bit of a problem if you are a coin dealer, for instance, travelling to a show. Report this Post to the Staff

One time I have a roll of halves in my pocket (as spending money) and I get questioned about it, heavily searched as a result Report this Post to the Staff

Better to have it with you in you carry on so you can keep an eye on it, and to declare it. Also not 100% sure, but I think most countries don't have a problem with you carrying stuff out, they are more interested in what all you are bringing in from elsewhere, so that they can tax you for it.

Yep... or throw you in jail and confiscate whatever it is that has offended their sensibilities. Report this Post to the Staff
