Fair enough. I'd discourage anyone from making a scene at an Amex Travel office tho.
Also, you'd get a lot better reception by doing smaller amounts per trip, IME.
$5,000 may not seem like a lot to you, but it's about 100 pounds of coins for the teller to stash away. Without prior arraingement, I don't bring in more than $1,500. (I don't usually bring in less than $1,500 either.)
