This Is What 400 Grand Looks Like

Nearly $400,000 of suspected drug money was confiscated at the San Clemente Border Patrol checkpoint on Monday afternoon during a traffic stop on southbound Interstate 5.
   
The dough was hidden in the rear quarter panels of the car -- and that's not all: Investigators said they found counterfeit bills, too. Agents said they searched the Volkswagen Golf near the San Clemente Border Patrol checkpoint because the driver was nervous.
   
The suspect is a Mexican national. He's in federal custody, charged with (here's a new one on us) "bulk cash smuggling."
