Dummy! That's me talking to me. The article clearly states "and other securities". Well, that could be a million dollar bond, or a stock certificate worth several million dollars. So, it didn't have to be in CURRENCY - it was in other instruments representing Dollars!

I can recall in the 80's working for a place that did stock & bond transfers. Fed-Ex would only take (IIRC) $10 million face value per package, so sometimes we'd have to split a certificate into $10 million increments, and send a dozen or so packages, one certificate in each.
