The problem with this is that the bank or clerks aren't accountable - they can pocket the snail-cash and not send the digicash "Oh, darn, the floppy's blank" or "Oh, darn, the email bounced" "Guess there's nothing I can do, what a shame" just as they could if you snailmailed cash to a conventional account. If you're sending non-accountable-by-sender cash, you need some way to get a receipt. If you're mailing a check or digicash, you have a way to repudiate the transaction or at least make a claim against them, or if you can go in to the bank in person for the transactions with cash.
