I had a package returned to me today from the Post Office "Due to Export Control Regulations." It appears the US does not allow any exports to the Crimea at the current time. The package was big enough I had to use a customs form, so I'm not sure if a letter would get through, but after reading the regulation it would be a violation to send coins "as a flat" with no customs form. The other swapper had not mailed his coins yet, so I don't have the problem of having both packages, but this is a problem if swapping to with people from this area.
"Sanctions against Crimea
The United States, Canada, the European Union and other European countries (including Ukraine) imposed economic sanctions specifically targeting Crimea. Sanctions prohibit the sale, supply, transfer, or export of goods and technology in several sectors, including services directly related to tourism and infrastructure."
I wouldn't expect to be able to send anything to Crimea for the next decade or two (at a minimum).
I had no problem sending coins to Crimea just a few months ago. worth, did you write Crimea on the envelope? All that you really need is <City>, <Postal Code>
Russia
I doubt that every single post office attendant in US knows geography well enough to know all cities in Crimea.
Steve, the quote you've provided does not mention anything personal. Is it prohibited to send letters to people who live there?

I'm referring to commerce, which includes trading coins.

Letters are not delivered by the geography teachers but by the post offices which are related to politics from those countries. We are not here to discuss the status of Crimea but how to successfully send letters to Crimea and for this is better to write on letters Russian Federation.
