[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1980195, member: 37925"]I got my money back. The seller then filed a claim and I got a letter from USPS instructing me to drop off the package at a post office, to get it to the Postal Inspectors. I did as instructed. A few weeks later USPS denied the seller's insurance claim, based on the grounds that USPS insurance doesn't cover cash. Even though it's a numismatic item, it's still considered cash and they will not touch it. USPS insurance serves no purpose with currency, except to call out that there's something valuable inside. Some people argue that USPS will use more care when handling insured items, but I think that's nonsense unless we're talking Registered Mail. The package had a $29+ postage label. You betcha that's gonna tempt some unethical people.[/QUOTE]
