What to do with...

[angryjonny]

I travel quite a lot. As a result I've amassed some useless foreign shrapnel (see photo) - I've done some counting and it's probably about fifty quid's worth, spread across several currencies.

Is there anything I can do with it? I know at airports they have those charity boxes you can put foreign money in, but I'm not taking that sort of change through the X-ray machines. Is there anywhere on the high-street that I can take it? I'm happy to just donate it all to whatever charity can use it.

Might be some use to barter with post WW4.

Personally I would just give someone a blowjob, would be worth more.

[Ariel Badger]

Most airports have a box to dump it in and they send it to charity.

Thomas Cook are going under so they'll probably just keep it for themselves

The post Office or Tesco would take it. They would give you proper money back as well.

Every ASDA I have ever been in his a foreign currency exchange desk, if you take it there they will just give you the equivalent amount in GBP or a currency of your choosing based on current exchange rates.

I believe Thomas Cook shops that have a travel money desk will do the same too.

Cheers!

Notes yes, but I've never found a bureau-de-change that'll take shrapnel like this. Alternative is to just bin it. It's no use to me.

[Rogerborg]

Put it in a jar, write "FREE MONEY" on it and leave it in the local money-changers. Random act of common courtesy.

I've got this all wrong. Change of tack:

I'm selling the last of my foreign shrapnel. I've only got about €35, $15, 15 Swisss Francs a few zloty and Romanian lei left. When it's gone it's gone. Now I'm not saying you should panic buy but...

[Bendy]

Marks & Spencer bureau de change usually have a shrapnel charidee box.

Apparantly you can drop foreign currency off in most charity shops, but if you have 8kg or more Age UK will come collect it...


''Age UK, for example, welcomes currency brought in to any Age UK, Help the Aged or Age Concern shop, and also has collection points at any branch of Coventry Building Society and at shopping centres Orchards in Dartford, The Mall Falkirk and The Mall Gloucester.

You can even download a foreign currency recycling poster from the Age UK website if you want to arrange a collection at your local school, college, church or workplace. And, if you manage to collect coinage weighing over 8kg – that is about five mugs full – the charity will arrange to collect it from you. Call them on 0800 169 8787 or email recycling@ageuk.org.uk.''

[angryjonny]

Even better - I'll just drop it round one of the many [img]many[/img] charty shops in town over the weekend.

[Skudd]

Throw it at ugly people.

I always give mine to the Children's Charity at the airports, Virgin usually give out envelopes for you to put the change into. Find yourself Cabin Crew and get them to do it for you??

I'd buy any of the euro funny money change from you, saves giving it away.

I always use the loose change for coffee/parking/snacks/bogs

I pickedf up the euro selection of coinage from a not so angry jonny earlier today and spent far too long talking shit in his direction.

I'll be making a donation on his behalf when i get home. In the meantime i'll be feeding the coinage into various machinery starting in a mo when i go downstairs to get myself a coffee of sorts
