How to Send us Euro Coins

Exchange euro coins the easy way.

Which Euro coins do we accept?

Simple - we accept ALL Euro coins (and notes). In fact we accept all worldwide currency, even old UK and Irish coins.

What we don't accept

Depending on the date of issue and denomination, a few of the old pre-euro coins can't be exchanged. However it's not necessary to remove these as we will pay a scrap value if we can't change them for you. Notes can sometimes be exchanged, so again they are worth sending as we will individually check all coins and notes.


The (pre-euro) coins that can't be exchanged are:


  • France
  • Greece
  • Netherlands
  • Italy
  • Luxemburg
  • Portugal
  • Belgium
  • Cyprus


Please note that all Spanish banknotes can be exchanged but only the last issued Spanish Peseta coins can be exchanged.

 

Euro Coin Sorting and Counting

 

All euro coins and packages are scheduled for opening and counting in the order they are received. Please ensure that your e-mail is on the outside of the package so we can send you notification of arrival. We try to get an offer to buy your Euro coins to you as fast as possible  - this can take between 3 and 14 days depending on workload.


  • Offers to buy can take between 3 - 24 days
  • Any coins that can't be exchanged will be itemised
  • Collectible coins are itemised with expected sales value
  • If you don't accept our offer we return your coins at our expense
  • Payments are made via bank transfer or PayPal
  • Cheques incur a £1.50 fee (FEE WAIVED for CHARITIES)

If you require any further assistance we will be glad to help, in the mean time we await the parcel size details if you require either of our courier services.

 

Packing small amounts of currency/coins

 

We recommend that you place currency in one sealed envelope which is then folded in half and secured with Sellotape. For extra security in transit and so the envelope does not burst we recommend that you place the envelope in a second envelope and again secure with Sellotape before putting it in the third envelope for posting to the address label cut out from our form.

 

Packing larger amounts of currency/coins

 

Large collections of 50kg or more will be collected by our staff and we will bring packaging.

 

For other amounts please pack the currency (Coins and notes) into a carrier bag and secure all around with strong tape then place that in another carrier bag and secure with tape and then into a strong cardboard box.

 

Cardboard boxes from copier paper are not generally strong enough for more than 12kg! Please keep a box to a maximum of 26kg. If it is too heavy to lift on your own it is usually over 26kg. If you are concerned that a box is not strong enough let us know and we will send a box to you for weights over 12kg complete with packing. (Postage contribution of £2.75 only will be deducted from the collection)

 

Fill any spare space in the box very firmly with scrap paper to stop the coins moving about. Securely tape the box on all seams and if in doubt use more tape! Coins are natural escape artists in transit!

 

Once packaged with plenty of tape let us know the approximate size of the parcel. We will email to you the prepaid courier label to print and attach to the parcel.

 

Insurance

 

NB: Cash 4 coins will indemnify you for a maximum of £100 per package if the currency is lost in transit during a collection we arranged where collection has been confirmed by the courier. Cover is not provided if the loss was due to inadequate packaging. If you wish to insure the currency for a higher amount you will need to advise us first. You will be pleased to hear that we have not to date had a parcel lost in transit.

 

If you require any further assistance we will be glad to help, in the mean time we await the parcel size details if you require either of our courier services.

 

All currency is weighed as it arrives, photographed and counted under secure conditions.
