    You totally can give cash anywhere in the world. You post it as a letter

    This was common before electronic transfer

      Mailing someone cash means you need to know their address, you have to wait however long for the mail to arrive, you can’t prove they received the cash, it’s possible the cash was stolen en route and anyone who might wish you harm like an adversary government can observe the transaction.

            On account of it being so in yours?

            Australia Post says they reject any liability if you do

            The UK says you should use their premium service to do so

            India says you can’t. It at least quora says you can’t in India

            Quora says you can in Canada

            I wonder why the UK and Australian searches landed on the national postal carriers and the others landed on fora

                If we’re playing by area, I seem to have won. But also, when was the last prosecution for mailing cash (where it wasn’t part of a more significant crime?

                Unenforced law isn’t very powerful
