No idea. But I wouldn’t do significant trades in cash without taking precautions.

Don't forget that there's a strong governmental push in Europe to eliminate cash. Large transactions are very difficult

Yes, very true! I've grown up mostly in the digital age unfortunately so I'm bad at using cash myself as well.
