| Feb 14, 2017 at 0:26 | comment | added | Rocky | Combining this method with the Bruce Schneider technique seems like a really good solution. You have two keys you don't have memorized, so you can always phone a friend if your cash pile gets messed up by accident. And if the friend also uses a (different) cash pile, oh, the possibilities are endless! So much plausible deniability! | |
| Feb 7, 2017 at 16:07 | comment | added | Aric TenEyck | The difference is that, "The stack of cash I had on my desk never made it into evidence" is much more plausible than, "The deck of cards I had on my desk never made it into evidence". | |
| Feb 4, 2017 at 12:43 | comment | added | Out of Band | You can do the same with a stack of poker cards, except that it's much less likely to be disturbed. Maybe if you set it on a surface that is likely to be moved... | |
| Mar 9, 2015 at 13:43 | comment | added | Aric TenEyck | If the bills are out of order, there are 50! keys (assuming you made sure beforehand that there were no duplicates) that would need to be tried in a brute-force attack. This is about equal to 10^64, or 2^214. | |

| Mar 8, 2015 at 23:31 | comment | added | Xander | Clever! I like it. I have doubts about how well it would work however, at least in the U.S. where cash is not as likely to disappear, but end up preserved in an evidence locker. Then, even if they bills do end up out of order (and I agree that this is quite likely) once they get the scheme out of you, they still have a very limited set of candidate passwords to work with. Still, a neat idea. | |
