Hello Hans and Bob I have done quite a number of private instrument imports from Germany. When I investigated the cheapest way to transfer my payments, I learned that all incomming registered mail to Germany is scanned. It is by German law prohibited to send cash of any sorts into German via registered mail. If any cash is found by the scanning, it will be confiscated by the German state. And the money cannot be retrieved no matter where or how often you sue the German state.
I would guess, that there are one or maybe even two German consulates in California. I would go and ask such a place for help.
