Convert your leftover Maltese Lira coins to cash using our hassle-free online exchange service. Get paid fast for your unused currency from Malta.

Maltese Lira coins were in use in Malta until 2008, when they were replaced by Euro coins. The exchange period for Maltese Lira coins has since ended, and MTL coins have no longer any monetary value. However at Leftover Currency we continue to exchange Maltese Lira coins for an exchange rate that covers their collectible value.

Maltese coins go from £1 to 2 Mils. The Maltese Lira has two subunits: There are 100 cents and 1000 mils in one lira. The 2 mils coin for example is worth £0.002 MTL.

In addition to Maltese lira, cent and mils coins we also exchange pre-euro Maltese Lira banknotes.
