People do this all the time, and it's not expensive at all. You can do wire transfers of hundreds of thousands of dollars for a $20 fee. You can get certified checks from your bank for large amounts for free.

Most governments don’t tax money movement (some countries doe have a stamp duty or similar on cheques now, but that’s more about trying to make people stop using cheques already).
