> rather than 370 gold eagles? > that's only $7,400 face value and is completely legal and lawful. you're depending on some tard customs officer in some country depending on us case law precedent. you may believe the precedent is correct, (legal tender face value) i may believe the precedent is correct, but some shithead argentinian customs official may not agree, and he has the monopoly on physical violence. at best you can now expect a costly litigation, with your victory facilitated via judicious use of bribes. if you have enemies who hold political power, the odds will be stacked against you. what would be in your favor is you are bringing hard money into their country. here are your options: 1. use crypto to seamlessly with zero risk transfer your money into the country. technically the value isn't tranferred until you sell the blockchain database entry for something in the new country.  2. carry physical gold through the airport, (carry on) everyone at the x-ray knows you are carrying precious metals, and they call ahead to warn your destination. you must declare what you are carrying, and pray the 85 iq argentinian customs/immigration officer buys your face value argument, or else your wealth gets confiscated. which way white man?
