It's technically not illegal unless you are laundering money or mailing the proceeds of drug sales. As guru said, if you mail over $10K then you run into the various reporting laws designed to combat money laundering. I still don't think it is *technically* illegal to send that much, but you will likely have to prove the legitimacy of the cash if it is seized and you want it back. The whole money laundering thing is what gives them the right to check for large sums of cash and you know, hold onto it for you in the first place, even though it's not technically illegal.
