Registered US mail, makes its way through the postal system in much more secure way than regular mail. It is supposed to transmitted separately. See: https://about.usps.com/publications/...pub370_012.htm.
An interesting side note: the HOPE DIAMOND (one of the rarest and most expensive) was sent to the Smithsonian in Wash., DC via registered US mail.
