Exchange Damaged UK Coins – The Smarter Way with Cash4Coins

Do you have a pile of damaged UK coins sitting around that you don’t know what to do with? Maybe they’re bent, cut, rusty, chipped, corroded, or discoloured. Perhaps you’ve pulled them out of a wishing well or fountain, or collected them from a charity box. Shops and supermarkets often find damaged coins mixed into their tills or lying in the cash office, while charities regularly receive them in donation tins.

The problem? No UK bank or supermarket travel money counter will exchange damaged coins. High street banks will only accept coins that are fit for circulation. If they’re bent, broken, rusty, or mutilated, they will be refused—and left sitting in drawers, safes, or collection tins across the country.

But here’s the good news: Cash4Coins specialises in exchanging damaged coins. What banks consider worthless, we turn back into real value. We’re trusted by UK banks, supermarkets, visitor attractions, and national charities to handle the coins that nobody else will.

Can You Exchange Damaged Coins at the Bank?

The simple answer is no. Banks won’t touch damaged coins because they can’t be recirculated. That means if you’ve got:

⚠️ Bent or misshaped coins – often run over by vehicles, caught in machinery, or warped by heat.

⚠️ Cut or chipped coins – partial coins or damaged edges.

⚠️ Rusty coins – very common from wishing wells, fountains, and outdoor collections.

⚠️ Corroded or discoloured coins – chemical damage or years of weather exposure.

⚠️ Cracked or broken coins – where part of the metal is missing.

…banks will refuse them every time. To them, these are worthless.

This creates a big problem for organisations like:

• Supermarkets and retailers – who end up with bags of damaged coins in cash offices.

• Charities – who regularly find rusty, corroded coins in collection tins and don’t know what to do with them.

• Visitor attractions – especially those with wishing wells, fountains, or donation points that collect coins in water.

In every case, these coins just sit around gathering dust—or rust.

Why So Many Damaged Coins Exist

It’s surprising how many damaged coins are in circulation. Common sources include:

Wishing wells and fountains – coins left underwater quickly rust and corrode.

Outdoor charity boxes – where coins are exposed to rain or damp conditions.

Shops and supermarkets – coins that get damaged in tills, coin counters, or cash offices.

Vending and parking machines – coins can jam and become bent or chipped.

Everyday accidents – coins run over by cars, exposed to fire, or damaged in tools and machinery.

Left untreated, these coins seem impossible to use. But with Cash4Coins, they don’t have to go to waste.
