The safe way to mail cash is via registered mail. Declare the contents to be cash, and insure for the proper value. USPS will insure for up to $25K. Request a return receipt, and you will have proof that the money arrived. This is the only sure way to do this, and it adds significant cost to the transaction.

Wow!  Thank you for this detailed reply! Very useful for anything, as apparently the insurance that I have gotten is useless, as no proof of arrival.
