I guess I am not alone in having accumulated a jar of coins and small notes from trips abroad. When I moved house I was going to put them on eBay but the idea of sorting, photographing and packing etc etc was all a bit too much especially as some of them were no longer legal currency.

Anyway, I found a firm on the net, sent them off in one secure envelope, they apparently repatriate them when they have about 1000kg.

They sent me an offer to buy them, even the little 1 cent US coins. Said yes and the money arrived in my bank account. As the Meerkats say on that TV advert, "Simples".

Oh yes, it was cash4coins.co.UK.
