For many years, travellers returning from holidays or business trips relied on Fourex kiosks and other foreign coin exchange machines to cash in their leftover currency. Found in busy train stations and shopping centres, these kiosks allowed you to pour in your coins and receive vouchers or cash in return.
But in recent years, many of these machines have closed, leaving people asking the same question: What do I do with my foreign coins now that the kiosks have gone?
The answer is simple: use Cash4Coins. We offer a nationwide, hassle-free alternative to coin kiosks, with the added benefit of accepting many more currencies—including old and obsolete ones that kiosks would never take.
The Decline of Fourex and Coin Exchange Kiosks
While the idea of a foreign coin exchange kiosk sounds convenient, they were never perfect:
-
Limited availability – Fourex kiosks were only located in certain transport hubs, making access difficult unless you lived nearby.
-
Restrictions on what you could exchange – kiosks often rejected coins from smaller countries, obsolete notes, or pre-Euro coins.
-
Maintenance issues – machines sometimes ran out of cash, broke down, or had long queues.
-
Now closed – with all kiosks no longer operating, travellers have few options left.
That’s where Cash4Coins steps in—offering a service that not only replaces kiosks but actually improves on them.
