I disagree; that’s something a defense attorney could really have some fun with. “How can it be considered lying when you asked my client an entirely subjective question? What *IS* a large amount of money? The federal deficit is three trillion dollars, compared to that the money my client had was spittle!”

I understand the sentiment, but it's best to avoid getting into a situation where you need a defense attorney. Authorities can make your life hell, even if you're eventually cleared.

I might say something along the lines of, "Officer, I've never been asked such a question. Am I suspected of a crime?"

That is a very clever response. Do me a favor and play out the rest of that conversation.

How about, "Officer, if I had any cash my wife would find it."
