Foreign Currency - coins

Phunk-E-Man · 4 Jun 2006 at 20:13

I've got about $60 barbados dollars from when I went there a few years back and about 30euros...trouble is, it's in coins, is there anywhere I can convert them back to good old £'s...seems as though all the places i've searched and found online only convert notes

Post Office

Checked the site and it said notes only

There's a charity which takes unwanted foreign currency. Can't remember it's name though.

As selfish as it sounds, I could really do with the money from a conversion

Luckily it seems as though my girlfriends folks are off to spain this summer, so they'll buy the euros from me, as for the Bajan dollars, I don't know anyone headed that way and can't find anywhere that'll buy them, I won't be going back there anytime soon so looks as though i'm stuck with them

i must say thats impressive shrapnel, considering the biggest coin they have is $1

Yup...have got loads of it, was always spending with notes and the coins soon built up...as rotty mentioned the exchange rate is pretty poor, bajan dollars are always double US dollars and the £ > $ exchange rate is pretty poor right now, but at the mo, every penny counts!
