Turn foreign coins into revenue for your retail business
Retailers like you across the UK often end up with large amounts of foreign coins and banknotes, not because you intentionally accept them, but because of the way everyday transactions occur. Customers may accidentally pay with leftover holiday money, insert foreign currency into self-service tills, or pass over old British or Irish notes during busy trading periods.
Consequently, retail stores often find themselves accumulating unwanted currency – whether it’s in the tills, safe, or cash office.
Over time, this currency accumulates. With no clear way to exchange it and banks refusing to accept coins or obsolete notes, it is often stored indefinitely or even discarded. That’s where we come in.
We provide a professional, secure, and hassle-free service to help retailers exchange foreign coins and banknotes into real value. Whether it’s for reclaiming lost revenue or supporting your corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, our solution allows you to monetise every last coin and note – including withdrawn and demonetised currency from around the world.
This includes not only foreign currency but also old British and Irish currency, as well as damaged GBP coins and notes.
Here’s what we accept
Monetise forgotten currency
Most retailers lack a formal process for handling foreign coins and notes that arrive. Consequently, large sums can remain unused, often bundled into envelopes or bags and stored in drawers or safes for years. These small amounts, when combined across multiple sites, can amount to thousands of pounds in potential value.
Our service provides an easy way to recover that value. We exchange all foreign coins and notes—including out-of-circulation denominations, old British and Irish currency, and obscure foreign tender that banks won’t handle. Once collected, we sort, count, and exchange everything for you. With guaranteed the best rates in the UK, your business gains a reliable and valuable return.
Use the value as you choose
You have the option to decide how the funds are allocated. Some of our retail clients simply utilise the exchange value to increase their profits. Others donate the proceeds to charity or connect them with CSR initiatives and community funds.
For larger groups working with partnered charities, we can also assist in establishing official in-store donation campaigns. By prompting customers to donate their leftover travel money into branded collection pots, you introduce a new and effective fundraising channel to your business – one that’s straightforward to oversee and highly visible.
Full support, minimal effort
We recognise that retail teams are busy, which is why our service is designed to be as hands-off as possible. We supply secure collection bags and promotional materials if needed, then handle all logistics, collections, processing, and reporting. You’ll receive detailed breakdowns of what’s been collected along with a quick payout.
Whether you have a single shop or a nationwide portfolio, we customise our service to suit your needs. Our operations are HMRC registered, insured, and compliant with retail auditing standards.
