So, I have at least 15 different types of currency I want to change into Sterling.

Any ideas other than driving to the nearest international airport and annoying the Bureau De Change?

If you have large quantities, then yes Bureau de Change (Post Office have reasonable rates for large quantities, M&S seem to offer good rates for smaller quantities, I'm sure others will recommend other providers). If you only have small amounts of coins, give them to charity? Post Office I think donates to Barnados, M&S to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, I am sure there are [url= http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=56139327 ]others[/url].

How do you think I have 15 different types of currency 🙂

I can see a phone call and some blagging in my near future. Either that or a basic bank account somewhere that does zero commission buy back.

Whilst Im at it, what about old UK coins, like the old style 50p's?
