You definitely want to keep it in your carry on bags as money has a mysterious way of disappearing when overseas baggage handlers are involved. And you cannot keep it in your pockets as you will be required to completely empty them to go through the body scan machine that all of the airports are now using, so your carry on is really the only option. Good luck!
