I've opened three (3) christmas cards and I'm already 150€ up. I love being a postman.

Is there a way they actually track this? Because I wouldn't be at all surprised for lots of cards clearly written by shakey-hand old people to mysteriously disappear and chalked up as a "senior moment" that they forgot to send it.

Depenfs of the countries, but in France, sending cash through the mail is actually illegal, and although the Post won't seize it, they also won't care if its stolen.

Cheques are the safest option, and gift cards are covered by postal insurance if stolen, but consider mailed cash as gone before it hits the mailbox.
