Exchange rates and payment for foreign coins and notes

Get the best price for your foreign coins and notes – GUARANTEED on ALL Foreign Currency

Todays Euro Coin Exchange Rate (for all coins 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, €1 to €2)  is: €1 = CALL for GBP

We guarantee to pay the best price in the UK for your currency. So, when exchanging foreign coins and notes you get the maximum amount possible.

We appreciate that many people have high expectations of what the currency is worth. The value of exchange coins and small denomination notes or obsolete banknotes is much lower due to the high costs of processing and transportation around the world to the various national banks to exchange them.

This is the same for all coins and banknotes which must be stockpiled, crated and then shipped to their national bank. They cannot be exchanged in the UK and have to be repatriated before we can exchange them.

The cost involved is the manpower, weight, insurance, shipping costs and ever rising fuel costs to repatriate them.

We will always offer our best rates which is why we are trusted for commercial foreign exchange services by the UK high street banks, UK government agencies, airports, law enforcement agencies, airports, charities, companies, hospitals, local authorities and schools.

Our exceptional customer satisfaction rating and the best service guarantee mean that we are the trusted partner for many organisations of all sizes. We are always happy to send a firm offer before the currency is collected if you have a fixed amount of currencies.

For most people, unwanted foreign currency has no intrinsic value as UK banks will not exchange them into Sterling. The reason the banks will not exchange foreign coins is because of the huge personnel and logistical expense 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 may provide a very low exchange rate which again can make some notes have almost no value.

For example, some coins such as French Francs, are no longer exchanged 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 will vary slightly due to normal market conditions and also depends upon the overall quantity of a currency we receive. We also GUARANTEE to give you the BEST market rates.

All coins have to be carefully sorted and counted which is a very labour intensive process. These coins are then finally repatriated to the country of origin for exchange.

Some less common currencies will require stock piling before it is commercially economical to ship them for exchange. This will mean 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. Please go to our ‘How to send us coins‘ page for details of where to send the currency. If you have any questions then please contact our dedicated customer services team who are on hand to help.
