    Cash payment limit in the US and Canada ?

    So here in Europe this is totally ridiculous...
    in Spain for any payment in cash, the limit is 2,500?
    If it's higher, then you MUST send the money through bank wire or cheque.

    I was wondering if there are any limit in cash payment in the USA and Canada ?
    Can i buy a car in cash ?

    This is just out of curiosity

      In the US if a single transaction is over $10k then it usually has to be reported to the feds but there is not a limit on the amount of a transaction that I am aware of.

        No limit in Canada, although I think large cash transactions are reported to the government by some business.

          All cash transactions over $10K must be reported to FinCen under the US Treasurie's AML regs.

          Suspicious cash transactions under $10K are reported with the discretion of the recipient.

          The exception would be known customers making cash deposit to a bank for their business e.g.; daily cash receipts. Sales tax (like VAT) is declared on these monies so they are not ''under the table'' cash payments, money laundering (cough cough) or terrorism funding -- those are the intents of these laws.

          No, I cannot walk into the Porche dealer with a bag of cash and drive out in a new Porche under the radar in the USA

            Here in Europe the only limit for cash is the size of your suitcase.

              You have to report 10k and over , or the banks are obliged to, if you deposit that much !

                In Canada you can buy and sell anything in any amount in cash. If you deposit more than $10k at a time, the bank reports it to the gov'.

                    That isn't true. at least not without reporting it. Anything over 10k

                        What if you don't have any CCs or bank accounts?

                        Sounds like discrimination.
