The Hidden Hassle of Sorting Foreign Coins and Notes
If you’ve ever come back from a holiday or business trip with a handful of foreign coins and a wallet stuffed with old banknotes, you’ll know the feeling. At first, you think you’ll save them for the next trip—but instead, they end up tossed in a drawer, jar, or box, never to be used again.
Why? Because the thought of sorting and separating foreign coins and notes—by country, denomination, and condition—can feel overwhelming.
And it’s not just individuals. Charities, schools, hospitals, businesses, and airports often collect huge amounts of mixed currency. Sorting them takes hours, sometimes days, and banks won’t accept them anyway.
That’s where Cash4Coins.co.uk makes life simple.
We accept unsorted coins and notes from any country, any denomination, any condition. You send them in as they are, and we’ll do the rest.

How Much Time Can You Save?
Sorting coins by hand is a slow, frustrating process. On average:
-
1kg of coins = 30–45 minutes of sorting
-
5kg of coins = 3–4 hours of sorting
-
10kg+ of coins = a full day (or more)
With Cash4Coins, the time saved is instant—you simply package your coins and post them.
