You need it all the time if you deal in watches and gold.
A lot of people will not take checks. Cash talks BS walks.

I have often wondered what the police would think if they pulled me over with my gold scale and a wad of cash.

Police have to do more than suspect, for forfeiture, they have to prove you are committing a crime and that the crime allows forfeiture.
I am not doing anything illegal.
