If you are going to buy a used car or motorcycle from a third party, use a certified check or do the transaction at the bank. Going antique shopping or buying stuff for your business - use your debit card or credit card. Loose your credit card or debit card you get a new one. Loose $5k because you loose your wallet and your out $5k.
I just don't see why anyone would carry that kind of cash on them - it's a huge liability.

Besides the fact that it is legal to carry as much cash on you as you want, people have lots of reasons to carry that much money on them, or more.
I know old farmers where I come from who carry $1000s all the time in a baggy pocket. They don't believe in banks or electronic funds. They believe in cash. Lots of people don't use banks, and if given the choice and can get away with not using them, why would you?
And who cares if it's a liability? That is their problem, not a problem for the police.
