Have a huge amount of foreign currency notes. Can I exchange them somewhere?

    So I live with a big family and we’ve all done our fair share of travelling over the years. A lot of the foreign currency that has come back with us has been piled into a plastic bag.

    Now, it’s a big mix of notes from loads of different countries, including Thailand, Singapore, Bali, etc. I had a quick glance yesterday and saw a £5 Sterling in there, so it’s not just small change. I don’t even know the value of most of it.

    What would be the handiest way of exchanging it all?

    Won't take it.

    Fexco on Westmoreland Street should take most currencies

    Why don't you donate it to charity? The charity boxes in Dublin airport take all types of currencies, and they seem to support worthy causes.

    I don't see much point in taking it to a Fexco etc. They won't take coins, and you'd get very little for small amounts of notes in various currencies.

    Hmmm, these wouldn't Northern bank sterling notes by any chance? :pac:

    Seriously, look up the exchange rates for the currencies, I'd be fairly certain the value of leftover tourist currencies wont amount to much. A 100 Thai bank note would be worth approx. €2.50 after conversion.
