> Seems they are abusing even the $100K number, does it not? You put in an extra "0", but it would seem if someone was bringing just under $3000 to avoid filling out the Postal form, that on the 4th day the Postal Service would be required by law to fill out a Form 8300 for over $10,000 of cash. I suspect the Postal Service might be exempt from the onerous rules and regulations placed by the government on other private businesses.

Check this URL for more details on cash reporting irs.ustreas.gov This whole thing was a result of the "war on drugs" - "Congress passed the Tax Reform Act of 1984 and the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. These Acts require you to report certain cash payments of over $10,000. " I like this info: "Example 1. You are a coin dealer. Bob Green buys gold coins from you for $13,200. He pays for them with $6,200 in U.S. currency and a cashier's check having a face amount of $7,000. The cashier's check is treated as cash. You have received more than $10,000 cash and must file Form 8300 for this transaction. " You will enjoy this one: "What About Suspicious Transactions? If you receive $10,000 or less in cash, you may voluntarily file Form 8300 if the transaction appears to be suspicious. A transaction is suspicious if it appears that a person is trying to cause you not to file Form 8300 or is trying to cause you to file a false or incomplete Form 8300, or if there is a sign of possible illegal activity.
