Beat me to it. :) For these, the double cornucopia on the reverse is the most recognizable item if the obverse isn't the typical jugate head...
I believe it is the amount above the threshold is all. The intent of the law is to weed out those who are simple vacationers from importers. Think...
Thanks. I knew it was some number, above which you needed to declare upon entry.
Very right, they are for different reasons. It actually brings up a point. I have declared in the US when my wife was taking gold OUT of the US...
