Can I still exchange faced out currencies into say Sterling pounds?

Question

eg. Dutch Gilders, Francs, Deutsch Marks...etc. Can I exchange in UK? What about Chinese currencies such as Chinese Yuan-Renminbi and Taiwanese/NT Dollar, where in UK can I exchange them into other currencies? Do exchange counters usually not accept coins? and the minimum amount of each transation has to be how much in GBR? Thank you

Answer 1

'phased'

No, you can't.

Answer 2

You can usually exchange old currency for the modern currency in the issuing country.  It's only worth considering a world tour to do this if you've got a lot of expired money.  UK Exchange dealers will only buy current foreign notes.

Answer 3

The only way you can still exchange these currencies in at the national bank of each country - e.g. Banque de France (French francs). They will not accept coins and will not accept each other's currencies

If you have a small amount of each and are not planning on visiting on a tour of Europe, you can also give them to charity (who can get both notes and coins changed for free and therefore make the most out of the money)
