France Prohibits Sending Currency, 'Coins And Precious Metals' By Mail

'It was not announced by the government and not covered in the media. There were no communications and nobody in the government justified or explained this decision.
The legislation says that “the insertion of banknotes, coins and precious metals is prohibited in mailings, including the insured items, registered items and items subject to formalities certifying deposition and distribution. "
Some have suggested that the decree is to limit what is known in France as “the anonymous market”, the market in which no taxes are paid and people are free to trade without the supervision of banks and government.'
