LostDutchman Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have been accumulating a bunch of spendable banknotes and euro coins lately.... what the heck do i do with them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Send them all to ME!!!!!! Seriousily though, unless you have a big enough amount of each type of currency, it isn't worth the conversion fees the bank is going to charge for each type of currency. So you either have to hold onto them or sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm assuming you have left over holiday money or something..? If there are no currency stores near you that you know of there will probably be one at your nearest airport. They probably wont take the coins though (at least, not the cents).

tabbs Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Accumulating coins from other "currency areas" is not a good idea, unless you plan to go (in the foreseeable future) to a place where you can spend them. Here in Germany for example many banks will exchange non-euro notes - but hardly any take coins, and the few that do will charge a lot (say, 30 to 40 percent) because handling foreign coins is quite costly. Maybe "your" bank can help you - if they don't accept the notes, they may be able to tell you about places that do. Or as Delta wrote, ask at an airport near you. Depending on the amount and weight of the euro coins, you could also mail them to a friend of mine in the US who would then send you a ($) check. Would not make sense if the postage "eats" the value though. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Orc Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Why not try selling them or trading them here on the forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
