For $12, I'd just send it in  a letter, with enough sheets of paper so
that the money can't be seen through the envelope. Although Todd's just
suggested wrapping it in foil in a thread somewhere else, which sounds
like a good idea.

Why foil?

I have sent cash through international mail ok, but did wonder if it
could be 'sniffed out' by dogs, machines or people with very sensitive
hooters. Maybe I have answered my own question.


I don't think it's 'foil-wrapped for freshness', it's just that light
doesn't pass through the metal, so no-one can tell what's inside :-)
