Google sends a personal identification number (PIN) by physical mail to all AdSense account holders upon becoming eligible to receive payments. Eligibility is based on achieving a threshold earnings level, set at $10.00 for U.S. AdSense accounts. Thresholds and currencies for other countries are listed on the Google AdSense Payment Threshold information page.
AdSense accounts cannot take receipt of their earnings without this PIN.
