I have always just taken cash and used the safety deposit box. I take out what I think I need per day (or half day when it is serious shopping) and I carry it in my back pack. I am aware of bag snatching and pick pockets but have never had a problem.
I figure that the worst that can happen is that I will lose what I have on me. At least the rest is safe, along with my passport and tickets.
I have seen those lanyard things and worry that if someone decided to give it a good yank you could get a serious injury.
