Sending cash by Polish post

Sending cash by Polish post - White pickup truck on parking lot with cars under shiny streetlamps at night

Recently I noticed that my 100 CHF cannot be exchanged since the Swiss National Bank assigned a rule. There was no way for me except sending by post. Does anybody have any experience. It is written in website that for Switzerland it is recommended not to send by post. However, the SNB itself accepts it this way.

What is the difference between Switzerland and other countries regarding sending cash? Please let me know if you had any experience?

Update: They received it no problem! This forum is conservative!



Best Answer

It's usually a bad idea to send money by post, because it cannot be insured, so if it's stolen or disappears your money is gone.

However, it's usually not illegal to do so, so if you're willing to take the risk and trust the Polish post, the Swiss post and the Swiss National Bank, you can try your luck.

And in case you were wondering why OP can't just use a regular money changer: Is this banknote still acceptable in Switzerland?
