cash is sent in the post all the time, its fine.

It's unwise. A postal worker could steal the money, or the recipient could claim he never got the money.
If you are trying to buy bitcoins, with bitinstant you can make a cash deposit to any Chase or Bank of America branch and get credited within an hour.
And if you really need to send money in the mail, a money order is much more secure.

The thing is I need to get cash anonymous from point A to B....
Without involving a bank... getting large amounts deposited in a bank....will raise suspicion
And by the way im in the EU..

If you can't send a money order, be smart about sending the cash.
Put in inside an envelope with some business-looking documents and the cash discretely tucked in the fold.
Write a return address on the back of the envelope where it is sealed, and put Scotch tape over the address/seal - it will be obvious if it's been tampered with.
And remember - there's no guarantees of any kind when sending cash in the mail! Do so at your own risk!

i do it all the time, but only ever notes and never big amounts.
With coins they can easily tell that there's money in there, making them likely to just take it. I would get a bit of paper either side so you cant see through the envelope. But yeah it should be fine its its small amounts, but for big bucks send a cheque.

When I was in high school I sent cash in the mail to order budmail twice and it worked both times. I used expresspost envelopes which are more secure than regular mail and i think I concealed it in a cigarette pack.
btw it was a domestic parcel in canada, by expresspost I refer to the canada post product.

I have only sent from the UK to the UK, but i assume that if its in a normal envelope, then it wont be checked and will be sent thinking its a letter. Good luck aha, Locker.

Just ship it flat as possible and with some sort of tracking so the receiver can't claim they didn't get it. It's really easy, have moved a bit amount of money around this way.

1. send as few bills as possible ( largest bills to make up the total )
2. send it wrapped in carbon paper
3. send using a traceable method to ensure honesty about receipt
using overnight fedex or ups is best, especially when sending outside your own country.
