Hello every one.
I would like to know if it is allowed by India post to send a kilo of coins from India to Europe !!
And if not is there any other way ??
thanks.
You are not supposed to send coins by post similar as in many other countries
however,if you pack the coins well such that they think there is a book or something like that inside, you would most likely receive the package by registered airmail
i would advise to send the coins in 3 parts. Postage is relatively cheap compared to Europe. A package that weighs a kilo has a very high chance of being opened and either sent back or stolen

Quote: "Sayan"Well how can I send or arrange the coins in a such way so that it is considered as a book?
There are several ways, but its too complicated for me to write it all down.. essentially, pack the coins between two pieces of cardboard tightly so that you cannot feel the coins move around or hear the jingling if you shake the package. Then put it in a bubble wrap envelope. Don't glue or tape the coins directly to the cardboard. If the guy at the post office asks you whats inside, just say it's a book. If he asks you to open the letter, tell him you've already sealed the envelope and you refuse to rip it open. If he still doesn't accept it, just leave and try again when someone else is manning the counter, or try at another post office.
