If the paperwork is that important and worth more than the ten pounds, I would send it recorded anyway, so no problem.
Strictly speaking, it's not allowed to send bank notes by post. I always wrap up notes in aluminium foil inside a card, which is what I'm going to have to do this week for some one's birthday present (I don't have an English cheque book any more). One of these days, a screening machine is going to discover my ploy...

Curious, why is not allowed? If it goes missing its your own problem.

I couldn't find an official site, but
http://fr.answers.yahoo.com/question...2165141AAOH3k8
which goes back a couple of years confirms what I say.
French OH would never send cash through the post - he'd send a Mandat if for some reason the addressee didn't want a cheque.
On the other hand, he's never had the problem of sending birthday money to the UK by post...
