Don't know why it would be that high, I sent a coin to EU from USA for $1, but it was just taped to an index card in an envelope. Casascius should be able to do something in the middle. Go to usps.com, and see what the actual shipping is to your country from the US (use ZIP code 84604 if you need one to put in). You'll have to use US ounces and guess the weight of the total package (like 9oz for a 20x20x10cm box + coins)
