I went to all of those in the past year or so and never used a money belt. (No I wasn't on a tour and have a bodyguard or anything)
I think this stuff about getting mugged is overblown. I can understand why some people use them, but I don't think its really necessary. Just don't have a camera around your neck while holding a map and you'll probably be fine. Keep your eyes open, lay low and bled in and you'll be fine.

To each their own I guess. Personally, I've also never wore a money belt when I travel, but I haven't exactly been to places where I think I really would need one. For some though, it gives them a sense of security with their belongings, really though it is a personal preference.
