You would be best asking the American posters on here how they ship coins outside the country.

If your friend put 'gold coins' on the custom's form, it might draw attention. But I can't see why she would have them sent back, unless she had either failed to complete the customs form correctly, or you had refused to pay any duty due on them! Actually, in those circumstances they would probably be seized, rather than returned!

I always put 'die-cast numismatic collectable' on there, it's no lie, and attracts FAR less attention!
