mailing cash question

[stringcheeseincident]

i know mailing cash isn't extremely safe, but do i need to put more than one $.37 stamp if i have around 10 or so bills in the envelope? should i put two on just to be safe?

eh? mailing cash is a real dumb move. why not spend the $.85 and get a money order?

It would go by weight.
You should be fine with only one stamp, but for $0.37, why chance it. Put an extra stamp on it just to be sure.

good point. especially if it's '10 or so bills'. why risk it?

either shady or stupid, or both.

Just for you, I weighed ten bills on my postage scale. You need to add four more pieces of letter sized paper before the postage bumps up to $0.60.

So ten bills wrapped in one piece of paper, plus envelope, plus ink, plus one stamp would be $0.37. 😀

Just go to your bank and get a Cashier's Cheque (AKA "Certified Cheque"). My bank lets me get them for no additional charge. A Cashier's Cheque is good at any banking institution and they can't be returned for NSF.
