What is the most unusual thing you have seen being loaded onto the aircraft?

Still to this day the most unusual thing I have seen going up the conveyor was bull semen in styrofoam coolers. But that is not why I wanted to start this thread. Last Thursday coming out of DFW I looked down and here is what was coming up the belt:




Federal Reserve cash packs. I had to google it. Each shrink wrapped pack contains 4 bricks of 4,000 bills each for a total 16,000 bills. They loaded 120 packs on which according to the federal reserve is 3 skids. Could not determine the denomination but even if it was $1 it was $1.92 million!

Sorry the photo is skewed I couldn't figure out how to rotate it. This is my first shot at posting a picture I hope it stays. You also can't see in the picture the 2 guys with guns drawn on each side of the armored truck. The guy on the side of the belt was writing the numbers you can see on the packs that is how I was able to know how many came on. After landing in SLC an armored truck was waiting and the process was reversed.
