I’m hoping there might be someone in the forum who can help answer a question I have around posting coins abroad.
I have a penpal in Japan who I would like to send a 50p coin to. I’ve read all the prohibitions and restrictions on the Royal Mail website for posting to Japan and only counterfeit currency is mentioned as prohibited. However, from reading some threads online it seems there is a general consensus that you can’t send legal tender in the post - although the forum wasn’t UK-specific so I’m still not sure whether you can or can’t.
Does anyone know what the situation with this is? Can I send a coin, can’t I send one…?
Also, if anyone has sent coins abroad, how did you package them? I want to send an envelope only. Will I need a customs form?
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help
