Currency buyback

The exchange rate for currency buyback changes daily and is dependent on the market. We buy back currency at the rate on the day you return it, not the rate when it was bought.

We don’t buy back coins. If you don’t want to keep hold of your foreign coins, we have a coin collection box at all our bureaux. The proceeds are donated to the Royal British Legion.

We buy back all the currencies we sell, including Euros, US Dollars, Australian Dollars, Polish Zloty, Turkish Lira, UAE Dirham, Swiss Francs and many more. See the full list of foreign currencies we buy back.

The minimum amount we’ll buy back is the lowest denomination of notes from each currency we sell. For example, we buy back 10 Turkish Lira notes which are worth around 25p, and we also buy back US$100 bills, which are worth about £80. We can accept any currency note as long as it’s in good condition.

The maximum amount of foreign currency we can buy back is up to a value of £25,000. This limit is in place to prevent money laundering, but the average amount returned is much lower – in the region of £145.

We don’t offer currency buy back via post due to the risk of money going missing. You’ll need to visit one of our bureaux to sell back currency. We have many across the UK. Find your nearest store.

We only exchange foreign currencies for cash. When you sell back currency to us, you’ll receive your money in notes and coins in Pounds.
