Go shopping with a wad of $100.00 bills. Most stores don't accept them, regardless of the amount of purchase, without additional ID.
I bought a new PC a few months ago with just shy of $7K worth of $100 bills. No one even blinked.
Remember that if you go over 10K, the recipient is supposed to file a form 8300 with the IRS ....
Make sure that, unless you don't mind the FBI putting an extra monitor on you, you don't *ever* transact $10k or more at one time, or on one purchase in smaller increments over a relatively short period of time. I know this because one of our customers in Encino was tagged this way in 1983. What was really hilarious was that they brought the equipment in for us to have a look at, since we were experts on HP proprietary gear and they weren't. (Or we were a lot cheaper than HP corp.)
