If fleeing a country, what items would have good resale value?

My buddy grandpa left murica to go to his home country but traded all his dollars to local currency. When he got off the boat local currently collapsed hard. Huge fear of mine.

Could you clarify customs me? Someone above mentioned I should have some recipes on those. I dk if that's enough.

[spacehooks@reddthat.com]

Probably a good amount to start over. Grandma wad a refugee and came over with way less. Granted she had to work like uncle ruckus but she also couldn't read either.

I planned to sew in the coins somehow into my backpack and jacket. But this a good idea for cash.

Knowledge is important, without it someone will be like my grandma working every job in town.

Y'all don't got that magic suitcase Leon S. Kennedy has? Ya know, the one that can disappear into thing air and re-appear, whenever you want, and can fit 2 rocket launchers, an automatic gun, a sidearm, boxes of ammo, a bunch of grenades, and vials of colorful herbs.

I was thinking BJ walking out wolfestine with 100 tons of gold but yeah Leon got that dimensions case that's volume not weight based.

A few iphones, they tend to have a high demand and prices are stable for a few years.

What do you mean by "this is not advice"? You just gave an answer to their request for advice. Your comment is advice.

Lol imagine selling them on the streets of Panama.

It’s one technique used to hide and move money all the time.

A different way is to buy some asset in the destination nation then sell it when you arrive. So like a bond or an etf share or something.

[skydancer@pawb.social]

Receipts don't matter if they (claim to) "suspect" the source of the money used to buy the gold in the first place.

[skydancer@pawb.social]

Coins vs jewelry doesn't matter. Weight and purity are all that count when selling.

Lame. Now I need paper copies of my bank statements ?

[socialmediarefugee@lemmy.ml]

Transfer your money to an overseas bank in your target nation.

[spacehooks@reddthat.com]

I Heard there are some complications with that.
Some people said consult a lawyer before moving finances.

[socialmediarefugee@lemmy.ml]

Good advice. Same with real estate. There are all sorts of laws in target nations you'd never expect. For instance, some nations will tax your money hard if you try to leave them.

Bitcoin is best. Can theoretically keep your wallet seed in your head instead of paper or on phone. Anything physical is subject to border guards or other transporation/exgress/ingress assisters.
