There does not appear to be any federal law for or against mailing currency. There is an oft-repeated myth that mailing cash is illegal.

It is illegal to mail cash to certain places (jails and prisons, for example).

Certain countries under embargo (Cuba) may be subject to laws barring the mailing of cash, but these laws are routinely violated and no one is ever charged with any offense. Since 2009, the law permits sending cash to family members in Cuba.

The postal service 'dead letter office' sometimes receives wrongly addressed parcels filled with cash. They recently returned $12,000 to the sender of a package with no address label on the outside.
