The Currency Drawer Audit: What Are Your Old Notes Worth?

Almost every home has one: a drawer of assorted foreign notes from holidays going back years. An hour spent sorting it can be surprisingly profitable, because a currency buy-back service such as the one offered by Travel FX will turn much of it back into pounds.

What usually turns up

Euros and dollars dominate, joined by lira, baht, dirhams and whatever the last few holidays left behind. Current banknotes in reasonable condition are generally exchangeable.

What may not be

Coins, discontinued note series and currencies of countries that have since switched, such as pre-euro national notes, are harder or impossible to exchange, so check before posting.

Worth the hour
