Assuming by "carried" you mean "taken from place to place in public", by "cash" you mean "cash in Pounds Sterling" and by "who" you mean "whom", I also tick the £1,000-£10,000 box (rental deposit and first month's rent).
Briefly, I've held a double cupped handful of Krugerrands. Thirty of them are worth £10,000; I suspect I held substantially more than that many.
As a member of Manchester City Library, I have access to all of the Oxford reference works online. (TTOTD: I believe anybody can become a member, and you can sign up online, and they'll post you your library card.)
It seems vague. They don't directly mention a plural, although the quotations they provide do use "Krugerrands", although they're from publications I wouldn't trust to get it right, either :) The Oxford books specialising in economics and business are equally silent on the matter.
Perhaps we should ask one of the Ubuntu folk to ask Mark Shuttleworth? :)
<cjwatson> sabdfl: a friend of mine was wondering in blog comments what the plural of "Krugerrand" is, and suggested "Perhaps we should ask one of the Ubuntu folk to ask Mark Shuttleworth?" <cjwatson> can you oblige? :-) <sabdfl> Krugerrands <sabdfl> Although they are usually written as "Kruger Rands" <sabdfl> took a few to space as presents for the other crew
It should be perfectly obvious to any native English speaker what is meant by "who" above. If you had trouble with it then I suggest you seek remedial education.
