Millions of unspent and redundant currency in circulation

Research conducted by Cash4Coins, a company that deals with coin processing and coin sorting, concluded that 27% of people have leftover foreign currency. Even after people try to spend it at duty-free or leave it in a drawer, there is still over £819 million of redundant currency floating around.

Cash4Coins offers a coin sorting and coin processing service which takes all this redundant currency and turns it back into currency. This ‘BuyBack’ process enables all redundant currency to be sent to us to be exchanged for cash, which can then be donated to a charity, cause or fundraiser.  This process is a great way of raising funds for many charities. Many airports use our services to raise money for charitable causes.

A considerable amount of money goes to waste every year. The service we provide enables us to process leftover currency sent to us, which can then be donated to a charity.

We provide coin sorting services for many hospitals, charities, businesses, banks and other public sector organisations that raise money via fundraising.  Cash4Coins activities are 100% regulated by HM Revenue & Customs and we are proud to be a member of IBNS, the International Bank Note Society.
