USPS will insure any cash that you send through the mail to its full value, subject to certain limits. For regular domestic mail, the maximum insured value is just $15. For registered mail items, the limit is $50,000. You must declare the full value of the cash you’re mailing, even if it exceeds the insured amount.

“The Postal Service does not prohibit sending cash in the mail and reminds customers about the options they have. It is advisable to send money via a personal or certified check or money order, as these are traceable and a stop payment can be put on a check if it doesn’t arrive at its destination.

2. Fold a piece of paper to hide the check.
