<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug444, post: 1592446, member: 38849&quot;]If you keep the mailer thin, by distributing the coins so they don&#039;t bunch up, you can send a &quot;first-class non-machinable letter&quot; of 2 ounces for 85 cents.&nbsp; The postal clerk can give you a plastic template with a slit in the middle, and dimensions printed on the template.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it goes through the slit, and the corners fall inside the printed guide, 1 ounce is 65 cents, and 2 ounces is 85 cents.&nbsp; I assume 3 ounces would be $1.05, but over 3.5 ounces, it&#039;s no longer a &quot;letter&quot; and you can&#039;t get the lower rate.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All this is for domestic mail only, although there&#039;s a substantial price difference between &quot;first-class non-machinable letters&quot; and &quot;first-class parcels&quot; for international mail.&nbsp; But the difference, in practical terms, may only be a fraction of an inch.&nbsp; I send 3 or 4 a week.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
