Except mail is easily lost or stolen and cash cant be traced.

cash cant be traced

I think this is a feature, not a bug. You assume the risk in exchange for some privacy assuming you don't deanonymize yourself on the return address.

Yeah well, it’s a trade off that might be worth it for some in specific situations.

This is why you don't send over $100

I used to send €10 O_o
Mostly because I liked getting all the different stamps to send it with.

It would take quite a while in the end. Print address to envelope, print code, insert money, close envelope, take out all the stamps, calculate the combination to get right value, check the available stock for each stamp, recalculate (no way I am using ones out of stock), take a soft brush, dip in water, wet the stamps, stick them on, make sure they're on well, let dry, take to mailbox, wait up to 10 days for it to arrive and get credited.

Personally, I've never not received something that was sent in the mail. I've had stuff stolen on my doorstep, but my mail carrier has a 100% success rate at getting things to my door.

You could print a random letter or graphic(s), preferably on heavier paper, and wrap the cash inside. That should make it a little harder to feel or spot on x-ray.
