<div class="IPBDescription">Hazards?</div> Ok Im here talking to a friend of mine and he says that sending a Twenty Dollar Bill through the mail is illegal. Ok I know that the NS Crew doesnt encourage sending it cash but thats the only option for me. Even if I do wrap the money in a lot of paper, wont the postal workers still check it? Im mailing it in from Korea so would that seem like a high priority mail to check because of the current terrorist problems?

On the actual legal side of things I can't help you, its kinda sad when foreigner's know more about your countries laws than you do.
Wont the box be subject to a search because of all the terrorist stuff going on? What happens when they catch me mailing $20 cash?
but yes, a money order is a good idea.
Go to your post office and ask them what they suggest for sending $$ in the mail.
Also, the post office dosn't open palages for the most part.
There has to be a reasonable suspicion for them to open it (if you send a letter with a 20 in it no one will open it or check it).
Things that would make a pkg suspicious:
Sounds, odor, wite particles around it (that would be anthraz my fried... looks like yeast though.... my mom almost mailed my bro a big thing of yeast around that scare time <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->), or xrays.
Remember we value privacy stupidly high here, there for opening stuff is kinda a no no unless there is probable cause <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
oh, and correct me if I am wrong, but no one in Korea wants us dead atm... do they?
/me smacks Thansal with a history book.
LOL! Well thanks guys for the help. I don't have any worries of sending the $20 cash anymore. I'll try and get it done tomorrow.
You know what? I'm going to do that to. Thanks for the tip man, nothing better than donating and saying thanks for this kickass mod we got on our hands here. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Last thing I need is stamps. My mom has some but they seem used. Will the mail get sent back if they are used? Can I glue the used ones on?

I got it in a card and a lot of paper. Can't even see through it, and it feels nothing like money. Beautiful, just beautiful.
as for bizzy
um,, so long as they don't have lnes drwan overthem (literaly anytihng on the face of the stamp) they aint ussed.
When stamps are ussed they are cancled out so that you can't re use them.
oh... try and lick the back of the stamp to see if it gets sticky... for all you know it aint ussed <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
/me thinks for a sec, why don't you ask your mom about stamps?
oh, and look up how MANY stamps your gona have to put on (it costs a chunk of change to mail anything internationaly)

Well I asked around in school and Mr. Toomey aka Hitler *cough* anyways, said that a 37 Cent stamp should cover for first class mail. I don't know I'm going to use a $1 Stamp, I think that would enough to get my mail from South Korea to Flayra's House right?
BTW, why the heck would you have postage as 37 cents, if you're mailing from South Korea? Shouldn't it be in Wons??? (840, to be exact)
In most (all?) countries it is illegal to send cash through the mail. But in saying that, a hell of a lot of people do it.
Benefits in sending cash through the mail:
you don't have to send your credit card details through email or in a letter
as most people deal in US$ cash in the trading community, if you have left over cash from a previous transaction it's easier to send this money then getting a money-order.
money-orders and international cheques cost money to get done
the buyer does not have to wait for cheques to clear
Negatives in sending cash through the mail:
if it's obvious that money is inside an envelope it gets tempting for the countless people who handle the letter from the sender to the intended receiver to "accidentally" misplace it.
it's illegal so if it goes missing the post office will say "well you shouldn't have sent it!"
If you do decided to send cash through the mail - always hide it well. At the very least, wrap it up inside a few sheets of paper. You do not want to be able to see the money just by looking at the envelope. I actually received one lot of cash through the mail which was hidden inside a floppy-disk! It was definitely hidden - but a bit excessive.
If you do want to send money, but are worried about it - send it via registered post. That way the receiver has to sign for it. Your money is a lot safer this way, but it's going to cost more money to send it registered than to send it normally.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
