I got it as a random question while boarding an ATL-CDG flight a few months ago. I opened up my wallet for the lady and showed her all the cash I had on me: a Swedish 20kr note (about $3). She didn't seem satisfied with that answer and continued pressing me about it. I'm not sure why she thought I'd be carrying that kind of cash on me - with the shabby way I was dressed that day, people probably thought it would take me a year to make ten grand.
