|
|
Has anyone done this? I seem to recall seeing this on some recent advertising material. I've got some yen, euro, sterling, and Aussie coins I'd like to get rid of before I move, and I believe KEB will exchange them. The rate probably sucks compared to paper currency but it still beats lugging otherwise useless metal around with me. Thanks. |

I've never known any bank anywhere to exchange coins. |

KEB exchanged them for me but at half their value. Which was fine cuz it wasn't much and I don't plan to go back to those countries for a while. |

You could probably donate them to some charity at the airport. Just a thought. |

I bought a large amount of them at a certain % of market value from a contact at a bank... they do take them. |
