Do I Need to Sort Coins and Notes Before Exchanging Them?

One of the most common questions we’re asked is: Do I need to sort my coins and notes before sending them to you?

The answer is simple: No. With Cash4Coins, you don’t need to sort anything at all.

Why Sorting Coins Takes So Long

If you’ve ever tipped out a jar of coins or a pile of old banknotes, you’ll know how time-consuming sorting can be. You’d need to:

  • Separate coins by country

  • Split them by denomination

  • Check for old or withdrawn issues

  • Count everything by hand

For just a few kilos of coins, that could take hours. For larger amounts—like charity collections—it could take days.
