Because of the casascius vs money transfer law incident, I wanted to ask if there are any laws in Europe that are similar to those in the USA. Would a sale of self created physical bitcoins with 10BTC loaded onto them in total need to be licensed?
you should consult it with a accountant or a lawyer
But isn't that simply importing of money/digital asset and is probably liable to such laws...
It's better to fund them when they reach the buyer unless you are making coins like BTCC - it's safer too incase the coin gets lost in transit
