This is from the Customs and Border Protection (part of the U.S. government Dept of Homeland Security) website:

It is not a crime to carry more than $10,000, but it is a federal offense not to declare currency or monetary instruments totaling $10,000 or more to a CBP officer upon entry or exit from the U.S. or to conceal it with intent to evade reporting requirements. Failure to declare may result in seizure of the currency and/or arrest. An individual may petition for the return of currency seized by CBP officers, but the petitioner must prove that the source and intended use of the currency was legitimate.

Why is there a ten thousand dollar limit on cash for air travel?

I don't think it has anything to do with air travel. The way I understand it, the USA places a limit on the amount of cash that a single traveler is allowed to carry out of the country on a single trip, regardless of how he's traveling. As much as we may disdain them around here, there is still an enormous demand for US paper bills everywhere outside of our country. If there were no limit, then there would soon arise this huge sucking sound of greenbacks pouring out of the country, and into black markets all over the globe.

How much cash can you carry travelling around US?

It is legal to carry any amount of cash, but quite imprudent to do so. The money would be suspected illegal and seized and then you have to hire a lawyer to fight for its return. Banks are required to report all cash transactions of more than $10,000. Carrying Cash During Air Travel: There is no limit to the amount of cash that may be carried on any flight, either domestic or international or any other means of crossing the border. The people who are saying that there is a limit on international flights or international travel of any means are not correct -- for international travel arriving in or departing from the US, you may carry as much cash as you'd like; however, any amounts in excess of $10,000 must be declared to US Customs either upon departure or upon arrival.
