American Dollars

Exchange American Dollars (USD) and Coins in the UK

The American Dollar (USD)—also known as the United States Dollar—is the most recognised currency in the world. From the iconic greenback $1 bill to the golden $1 coin, the dollar is used not only across the USA but also in countries such as Ecuador, El Salvador, and Panama.

If you’ve come back from the USA with leftover notes or coins, you’ve probably realised that UK banks won’t exchange coins—and often refuse old or withdrawn notes. That’s where Cash4Coins.co.uk steps in.

We make it simple to exchange American dollars and coins into pounds, with fast payments, fair rates, and charity options.
