Is it illegal to send money through mailing? My sister told me that it is illegal. Am I too gullible?

No it's not illegal. It's just that sending money (cash) through the mail is never a good thing to do, since it can get lost or stolen. It's always better when having to pay for some thing by mail to use a check or a money order for that, so that it won't get lost or stolen.
Also a check or money order proves that you sent the payment in for what ever your buying.
I hope this helps you out. Hey, we can always learn some thing new every day. So, do not worry about being gullible, since your sister may not even know that she isn't right.
Best of luck always.

You can send money through the mail...it is not illegal but unless you are sending less than $20 in a birthday card I would send a personal or cashier's check. If you intend to pay a bill with cash there is nothing to say that the person who receives the cash on the other end just doesn't pocket it and what proof do you have that the business ever got your envelope? Understand?

It may not be illegal but, as an employee for a shipping company, I know that almost all parcel companies prohibit the knowledgeable shipping of cash or cash value items.

It's not illegal but the banks don't get any benefit from it. So if you sister works there you can consider her idea as a professional joke)

It is not illegal. It is unwise. Mail can get lost or stolen.

No, people do that all the time. There is NOTHING illegal about it. It is unwise, but NOT illegal.

No, but if it gets stolen you can't do a thing.
