The only time I've come close is Brazil, which might be relevant for those of us on here who might do dollar runs while on vacation and the local limits/laws there like I did.
I'm not wealthy (compared to most expats/foreigners on here at least) so what was a lot of money for me was also close to the limit for declaration in Brazil, which is 10K BRL ($1,947 USD at time of writting). You can exceed this amount entering or leaving Brazil, but if you do, you must declare it.
I've never been in a position to have 10K USD in my possession, but given how corrupt AFIP/the police in general are, I'd be wary of declaring 1K let alone $9,999. I'm sure the government would simply declare it a coincidence if an expat or tourist was robbed of said money after declaring it at EZE once leaving the terminal, whether it be at home or in their hotel.
