Even before getting to the main point, bringing that money into USA as a traveler / visitor will be a hurdle as a threshold exceeding $10,000 must be declared upon entry. Will they allow the entire 5000 OMR stack in or would that be confiscated even when declared?

Like this: after paying for the food in $, suddenly giving them more money: I’m only a visitor (as I only have foreign currency, i.e. Omani Rial in cash) being like, “Here is 5000 OMR ($13,020) for your efforts” so despite that being a lot of money, will they take it?

Edit: I got the idea from this video

    Why are you coming here with the possibility of being snatched up and being put in a detention facility? Spend your money in a country that values your visit.
