How safe is it to send cash by mail? i am thinking of sending my nephew a $50 bill in the envelope with a B-day card.

You could send it, and it will probably get there, but you have no recourse if it is stolen or doesn't arrive.

Best send a money order or a check. I have sent $5 or so in cash, but $50 might be a bit much. On another note if you do want to send $50 cash (which I don't recommend although it would likely be safe), consider purchasing insurance. It would likely be a buck and change and if your nephew never receives the cash it is insured.

I have done it by sending it in a UPS Next Day Air envelope. The less time in transit the better and it will make you feel better that you can always track it. If you have problems they (UPS) will help you.

Yes I have, several times. I know its not safe, but I have never had A problem.
I put the card in a small brown mailer envelope,
the kind with small bubble wrap.

Send a check.

I've done it and have both had money get to where it was supposed to be, and not... so it's a risk. If you want to send money I would suggest writing a check.

not too safe - better to send him a money order or one of those gift cards.

While no one can guarantee it will arrive, it is extremely unlikely (though not impossible) that it will be lost or stolen.
