Exchange rates and payment for foreign coins and notes
Get the best price for your foreign coins and notes – GUARANTEED on ALL Foreign Currency
We guarantee to offer the best rate in the UK for your currency. When exchanging foreign coins and notes, you receive the maximum amount possible.
We recognise that many people have high expectations of what the currency is worth. The value of exchange coins and small denomination notes, as well as obsolete banknotes, is significantly lower due to the high costs associated with processing and transportation worldwide to various national banks for exchange.
This applies to all coins and banknotes, which must be stockpiled, crated, and then shipped to their national bank. They cannot be exchanged in the UK and must be repatriated before we can process the exchange.
The cost includes manpower, weight, insurance, shipping expenses, and the increasingly rising fuel costs associated with repatriation.
We have a step-by-step form that guides you through the exchange process – it takes less than 60 seconds.
Trusted by big brands
We always offer our best rates, which is why UK high street banks, government agencies, airports, police forces, national charities, businesses, hospitals, local authorities, and schools trust us for their foreign exchange needs.
Our outstanding customer satisfaction rating and comprehensive service guarantee make us the trusted partner for many organisations of all sizes. We are always pleased to provide a firm offer before the currency is collected if you have a fixed amount of currency.

For most people, unwanted foreign currency holds no intrinsic value because UK banks will not exchange them into Sterling. The reason banks refuse to exchange foreign coins is due to the high personnel and logistical costs involved in sorting, counting, and shipping. This means that, for most people, foreign coins are almost worthless.
This can also apply to some low denomination notes, where UK banks might offer a very low exchange rate, making some notes nearly worthless.
For example, some coins such as French Francs are no longer exchanged, not even at the Bank of France, and from February 2012, French Franc notes are no longer exchanged.
However, here at Cash4Coins, we will exchange foreign currency back into Sterling. Our exchange rates may vary slightly due to normal market conditions and also depend on the total quantity of currency we receive. We also GUARANTEE to offer you the BEST market rates.
All coins must be carefully sorted and counted, which is a very labour-intensive process. These coins are then ultimately repatriated to their country of origin for exchange.
Some less common currencies will require stockpiling before it becomes commercially economical to ship them for exchange. This means these currencies may receive a substantially lower rate of exchange.
Why not send us your leftover foreign coins and notes today, and we’ll exchange them into Sterling? We have a step-by-step form that guides you through the exchange process – it takes less than 60 seconds. If you have any questions, please contact our dedicated customer services team, who are ready to help.
