New currencies accepted for exchange

new currencies added

We have been busy adding new currencies to the Leftover Currency website. New currencies accepted for exchange include both foreign coins and obsolete banknotes. Here’s an overview.

Brunei dollar coins

Cassa Mediterranea banknotes

These banknotes were issued by Italian forces in occupied Greece during World War II. These drachma banknotes from the 1940s were no longer exchangeable following the defeat of the Axis powers. We have reinstated the exchange of Cassa Mediterranea banknotes for a value that covers their numismatic value.

East German DDR Mark banknotes

From 1948 until 1989 the East of Germany was under the control of Soviet Russia. East Germany had its own currency, the DDR mark, which was exchangeable until 1990. We have reinstated the exchange of East-German DDR mark banknotes.

Egyptian coins

Did you travel to Egypt recently? If you have, then it’s likely that there are a few Egyptian coins gathering dust in your drawers. We have now started to accept Egyptian 1 pound and 50 piastres coins for exchange.

Forum Cheques

Anyone who visited East Germany in the 1970s or 1980s was obliged to change their West German currency for East German forum cheques. We have started with the exchange of Forum Cheques from Cold War era East Germany.

Old Polish Zloty banknotes

Poland banknotes issued before 1995 belong to the Old Zloty currency, replaced by the current new Polish Zloty at a rate of 10,000 old to 1 new. We have started with the exchange of old Polish Zloty banknotes at a rate that covers their numismatic value.

Predecimal and withdrawn British pound Sterling coins

Predecimal and old style large British coins are often found in drawers. British banks have stopped accepting these from their customers recently. We have started exchanging predecimal and withdrawn British coins, accepting all coins from a farthing up to the old brass £2 commemorative coin.
