Recent months in Germany....this question has come up....due to a 2021 law.
So, its perfectly legal to house more than 10,000 Euro in your house. However, if you take the excess money and walk into a German bank....they will alert the cops and you will have to explain where the excess money came from. Just saying that you won it in a poker game? They will ask who you played against, and where this game was located.
If this were 9,900 Euro? Nothing much should occur....unless you acted funny.
The law from 2021? Money-laundering was the driving force.
I noticed that someone did a survey and found that across Germany.....most folks kept an average of 1,300 Euro in their house....in some safe, locked-box or coffee-can.
Why this myth comes up? Well....just a lot of fake news going on. If you follow German social media.....there's probably twenty-odd fake stories that I see on a weekly basis (not that I'm really looking for them).
