Hello everyone, as I live in Australia, I had my Hubby stay up all night so he could ring US Customs and talk to them about bringing more than $10,000 into the America. The Customs Officer told him that America had no limits on the amount of $$ you could bring in. They also said to advise Customs Officers as you are going through Customs that you have more than USD $10,000. They will then take you into a private room (This is for our security, away from prying eyes) where together you and them will go through and count the money and confirm the amounts.
Customs Officer also said that you are required to complete a FinCEN Form 105 (REPORT OF INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTATION OF CURRENCY OR MONETARY INSTRUMENTS)
Here is a link to the PDF http://www.irs.ustreas.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ffc105.pdf
You can fill out the form prior to arriving so it saves you a bit of time.Then you will be on your way. On a side note, my hubby also mentioned that he had all the receipts from when he bought the dinars still which he was going to take as evidence of how he came to hold them, and they seemed happy with this.
So you can confirm here is the phone number to US Customs and their web site. US Customs International Caller – (703) 526-4200.
Just a quick note here also. My Hubby had to ring 2 times to get the operator. First he went through the recorded messages. The second time he said he pressed 0 a few times then went into a queue to speak to Customs Officer.

I hope this help clear up some concerns about traveling to America with Dinars
