I do a lot of late night driving, and I don't take my checkbook with me on anything but the longest trips, so it's not a bad idea to have a good amount of cash around just in case. I just counted it, and I still have $190 of the original $300 left in there.
I don't think that everyone needs to carry around $100+ on them, but I do think it's a good idea to have something on you in case of emergencies/unusual circumstances. It never hurts to be prepared.
I don't know where I picked it up, but whenever I leave the 50 mile radius of my home, I always make sure to have $100 cash on me.
