spread your money around different locations for security and so you don't get out large amounts at once in front of people.
when your driving keep a small amount of money, say 20E in small denominations in a separate pocket, this is for 'fines'. No matter what they first ask for, make sure they think this is all you have. (the rozzers don't take MasterCard by the way!)
I also carry a wallet with old credit and debit cards in, along with the 20E above. It's a product of living in Moss Side, Manchester! It's your mugging money! enough to keep them happy so you don't get a worse shoeing, not so much it's a disaster!
Carry a spare card stashed somewhere secure on the vehicle. This is your back up if your main cards are nicked.
Use an email that can be accessed anywhere (like Hotmail) then email yourself the phone numbers and account numbers so you can cancel your cards if necessary. Use a code for the numbers if it makes you more comfortable.
probably the wrong thread but just some things I've picked up along the way.
