The limit for cents and nickels is 5 dollars isn't it? I just wanted to make sure so I don't get arrested for shipping 4 bucks in change to a foreign collector
how many days do you want to spend in a federal pen? its not worth sending nickels to a foreign collector IMHO just send them othe things unless modern nickels is all they want
you can take $5 with you, but you can ship up to $100 worth for " legitimate coinage and numismatic purposes" here is the press release from the mint's site: http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&ID=724
Its Jefferson nickels that I'm trading for foreign coins. I don't think they'll send me to prison for sending $4.05 face value of Jefferson's to a collector in another country. Do you?

No dude, you're good. Just don't ship any dynamite, Jim Beam, or nudie magazines with it and the feds will let it pass this time.
just be careful thats all. I am sure they have mechanisms to distinguish between a one time shipment and multiple shipments of less than $5.
