Donate foreign currency

We can convert your leftover holiday money into dreams!

We have teamed up with Leftover Currency to raise funds by collecting spare foreign coins and banknotes.

It's easy to donate your leftover holiday cash. Simply fill out our Charity Exchange Form and send it in along with your currency.

Leftover Currency will exchange all currency, coins and notes, foreign and domestic, and donate the exchange value plus 5% extra to Dreams Come True!

Donate my foreign currency

Did you know?

89% of people return from abroad carrying leftover foreign currency.
On average, we bring back around £54 each.
That equates to over £1.6 billion per year.*

Which banknotes and coins can I donate?

You can donate any coins or banknotes, foreign or domestic. We will exchange whatever currency you send us and will donate the combined exchange value plus five percent extra to Dreams Come True.

Leftover Currency will exchange currencies listed on their website.

All other banknotes and coins will be exchanged against their numismatic value, bullion value or scrap metal value, whichever is higher.
Each coin and banknote helps us to make Dreams Come True for seriously ill children and young people across the UK.
It helps if you sort the currency before you send it. But if you are unable to sort your currency, don't worry as Leftover Currency will take care of the sorting and counting, free of charge.

If you have any questions or queries, please call 01428 726330.
