What about the UK equivalent of USPS Express Mail to send the currency? The
envelopes are bigger, you can use a couple pieces of cardboard with the cash
taped between them. Mark it "Photos - Do Not Bend" to head off the crooks.
With a tracking number you stand a good chance of being able to 'watch' it
along the way. Plus, you could declare its value as the amount of cash and
insure it... I'm not sure if that would work as you aren't being truthful of
the contents. Maybe put the cash in a big box with a rock, and ship it
insured for the rock's "value" as a collector's item for Tom's rock
collection (out next to the driveway...)
