I often receive small amounts of cash here and there from my mother. She likes to send "pizza buffet" money to me when she treats my siblings that live near her. I live out of state. I've never had a problem receiving it but if I were to send money I'd feel more confident sending money online. Today, there are so many ways to transfer electronically, even if one wanted it to be private. There are so many card accounts that cash can be added to at many public places and wired to another's account or "private account". Confidentiality and convenience are the only remaining reasons for sending cash through the mail. I guess it's easier to shove $25 in an envelope with a stamp rather than take the extra steps to go online make the transfer and watch for it to be completed. Cash may still be King, but time is always of the essence. Cash can be earned, time cannot so it depends on how you value your time and which method saves the most time. That said time worrying about cash in mail is time wasted, in my opinion.
