Local Authorities

An easy and reliable way to exchange foreign coins for local authorities

If you’re charged with exchanging all the foreign coins your local authority accumulates, then you’ve probably already discovered that you can’t take them to a bank or a currency exchange bureau. Leaving them in a safe or cash box isn’t beneficial for your cash flow or accounts, so it’s essential to find a way to exchange your foreign coins regularly.

Even if you don’t intentionally accept foreign coins in any of your authority’s services, they tend to just appear quite regularly. This is especially common at museums, parks, sports centres, car parks, and travel concessions.

What would you say to a fast, easy, and transparent service that offers the best value for foreign coins anywhere in the UK?

100% satisfaction guaranteed

When it comes to a local authority’s finances, we understand how vital accounts and accountability are, which is why we pride ourselves on the thorough and fully transparent service we offer.

Whenever you send us a collection of coins, we provide a written, itemised statement of your collection and the value for each denomination and currency. We also accept coins that are no longer in circulation, including pre-euro European coins and pre-decimal British & Irish coins.

Coins that can’t be exchanged will still be accepted for nominal or scrap value, and these payments will be fully itemised on your written statement.

Here’s what we accept

Payment within just two hours

No matter where you’re from, sending your coins to us is simple and hassle-free, backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with our offer for your coins, we will return them to you at our own cost.

And we promise to provide the best exchange rate anywhere in the UK, ensuring you get the maximum return on your coin collection. We also offer free collection or drop-off for certain weights, giving you more time to focus on running your department or division.

A brilliant fundraising idea

But where exchanging foreign coins truly excels is when combined with fundraising. From placing foreign coin collection boxes in your museums, gift shops, and schools, to organising a community coin collection, foreign coins can generate substantial donations because people are willing to part with them.

Estimates suggest that Britons bring home over £30 million in foreign coins annually from holidays and business trips. Most of these coins end up in a jar, drawer, or safe somewhere, waiting to be used on the next holiday. Of course, people rarely remember to take coins with them when they travel again.

If you’ve never organised a foreign coin collection before, don’t worry. We have a dedicated fundraising team that specialises in helping all kinds of companies, charities, and groups organise collections. We’re available to answer any questions, and to help you coordinate your fundraiser to attract the highest possible donation amounts.
