Because to hand over the money I'd need to travel 1000 KMs [1].

And if you want to know "why you don't simply transfer through a bank?" I encourage you to read the Corralito wiki.

Just before the Corralito ended, there was an asymmetric pesification of bank deposits. This meant that if you had 100k USD in your account on Monday, by Friday it would be converted to 100k ARS at a rate of 4 ARS = 1 USD, effectively leaving you with just 25k USD.

This event left a general feeling of discomfort regarding leaving real money (in terms of store of value) in the bank.
