For reference, banks in the United States flag all transactions above $10,000, and repeat transactions that appear to be skirting this threshold. | ||||||||

Also worth thinking about inflation with this one. The $10,000 figure originated with the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act[1]. Back then, that was a lot of money. If it had kept up with plain old vanilla government-reported inflation, the number would be closer to $83,000 today[2]. --- [1] https://www.fincen.gov/resources/statutes-and-regulations/ba...
