Cash. His business was illegal (naturally), and it was the 1980s, so most of his profits were in literal cash that could not really be safely put in banks in the amounts he was bringing it in. So much of it was physically stored and hidden in various safehouses… and sometimes, vermin and the elements would get at it, destroying or rotting the paper money beyond usability.
was cash ever actual paper? I’m pretty sure the US dollar has been cotton since it was first created, only actual paper money i can think of would be proto-cash in the form of bonds and whatnot.
