Illegal To Ship Coins Through The Mail

To avoid this cind of troubles, just mark on the slip that it are colectibles, that way you can send it registrated and insured, without anny "less smart" qestions, I do it already for over 15 years that way.

Bobby cleared all up for me... I told her Ihave done for awile

It was at one time illegal to send US coins and currency in US domestic mail, unless they had a collector's value significantly above their collector's value, and could be considered merchandise.

However this regulation has long since been rescinded. Any USPS employee who tells you that it is still illegal possiblyhas a vague memory of it once being and illegal and thinks it still is, or are going by obsolete rumors, or just doesn't know what they're talking about... or all of the above, lol. Go ahead, send all the coins you want.

Even if it was still illegal to send coin and currency in the mail (which it no longer is) collector's coins would be expempted anyway as long as they traded significantly higher than face value, and thus would be considered merchandise rather than money.
