Hi Liz,
Whenever I go to the USA (to a casino occasionally) they ask if I have more
than $10,000. with me. There is also a big sign posted that anything more
than $10,000 must be declared. I usually get the same question returning
into Canada. (I wish I was bringing home $10,000). So I
Tamara is right. The limit is still 10,000 before you have to declare to
customs on arrival.

Another option is to use an ATM (automatic teller machine) card. My bank
does not charge fees for out of system use. If the slips are saved and given
to a teller the bank also reimburses all other charges. Easy way to get cash
daily. I also got a very good exchange rate when in Europe.
However, travelers, keep in mind that not all lace suppliers can accept
credit cards. Small businesses can't afford the credit card charges,
which can be as much as 75 cents per transaction.

I rather doubt that the bobbins are celluloid as it is a rather delicate
material and disingrates easily. You have to keep it away from light and heat.
