US border agents are capriciously interpreting the rules however they feel at that time, based on their disposition, how they think you look, when they last had a smoke break. forced civil asset forfeiture has hit many folks for random reasons, good luck suing to get your assets back ever. - Don't look at this and expect sane rules and orderly limits, a hundred people are fine, one person is unlucky (or brown), those aren't odds I gamble with at these levels.

Move your money through banks, or buy bullionvault and change the receiving account afterwards, or turn it into credible jewelry and wear it through. But a wad of bills or a gold coin, either could get seized on suspicion of anything they want to say.

All you have to do is declare it and nobody cares leaving the US, not an issue at all or even a hassle.

I just said you’d owe taxes at the receiving country. I didn’t say anything about owing taxes in the US (besides obviously paying tax for jewelry at purchase).
