This has been discussed here in the past, welcome to the post 911 world. 10k is illegal overseas, 10k domestically gets you stopped and investigated, but its not illegal.

Yes, it's been discussed, and nobody has yet come up with any evidence $10,000 is magic.
It's not just post-911, it's more post-war-on-drugs. I read a story a decade ago about a car dealer driving between Wichita and Tulsa who got stopped for speeding, or some such, and a drug dog alerted on his $50K cash wad. Cops took it, said it was drug money as proven by the dogs finding the scent on it (something like 95% of US $100's have measurable traces of drugs) and told the guy if he wanted it back he could take 'em to court. He did and eventually after a long fight did get it. He was lucky--he was going to a used car auction and obviously had to have cash, and could prove he got the cash out of his business.
But I've still never seen anything official that says $10,000 is magical. It's all rumor. Anybody have any actual documentation to show that $9500 is ok while $10,500 get you hassled?
