jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 3:48 pm What the recommended way to transport coins and bullion during domestic air travel? I don't want them out of my possession, but don't want TSA snooping either. Report this Post to the Staff

machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1272 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 4:37 pm That's an excellent question. I don't think there is a good way. TSA could just confiscate them if they felt like it, right? Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 5:27 pm Pack them in your carry on, and schedule a private inspection with the TSA. That will prevent any loud mouth XRAY tech from announcing to the world you are carrying coins, and the coins will not leave your possession while they are being inspected. I'm not sure if you would talk to the TSA to arrange this, or the airline you are traveling on but I know it is possible. Report this Post to the Staff

There are quite a few companies that book seats on corporate flights or empty leg seats for corporate empty-cabin return trips. We always drove, and used rental cars when we reached the destination city for extra safety at the shows. We usually parked at airports and rented cars at the airports. Report this Post to the Staff
jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 7:18 pm Make sure you hand carry as carry on luggage. Most of the time, because coins look pretty odd in the X-Ray, they will need to check further. When they go to open bag, just request a private inspection and they will do their examination in a private room.

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5393 Posts	Posted 11/26/2021 7:43 pm Agreed , private inspection is your right and the best way to handle it . Tell no one what you do and never ever let your bag out of your sight . When I buy in Europe I often have packages sent insured rather than carry them home .
