Jukeboxes once turned spare coins into music memories. Today, Leftover Currency transforms your leftover foreign coins into usable cash, helping you rediscover the value of forgotten currency.

The jukebox holds a special place in music history, especially regarding how we’ve enjoyed music over the last century. It may be hard to imagine today, in a world of endless streaming, but the jukebox was once the pinnacle of music on demand. From smoky pubs to lively diners and restaurants, the jukebox was more than just a music player—it was a cultural icon that brought people together, creating shared moments and memories by selecting a song.

The birth of coin-operated music

Introduced in the late 19th century with coin-operated phonographs, the jukebox quickly became the centrepiece of many social spaces. People could control the music for just a few coins, selecting the soundtrack to their evenings. The ability to play favourite tracks instantly was a revolutionary shift in how music was consumed. No longer confined to live bands or unpredictable radio programming, the jukebox allowed people to hear what they wanted when they wanted. 

As the jukebox grew in popularity, it played a pivotal role in promoting new music. With machines tracking which songs were played most often, jukeboxes directly influenced the success of records. By the 1940s and 1950s, during the golden age of jukeboxes, they were a staple in pubs and clubs. Rock ‘n’ roll, a genre that thrived in these settings, owes much of its success to the humble jukebox, which helped launch the careers of countless artists.

Now imagine, back then, you might have a few coins left over from a night out, jingling in your pocket or forgotten at the bottom of a drawer. Much like those old coins, we often return from our travels today with leftover foreign currency—banknotes and coins that sit unused, gathering dust. But what if you could turn those forgotten bits of money into something spendable? This is where Leftover Currency steps in.

Leftover Currency: bringing life to forgotten money

LeftoverCurrency specialises in helping people exchange their leftover foreign coins and banknotes into spendable cash. Since many banks and exchange offices won’t accept smaller denominations or outdated currencies, we offer a simple, convenient online service that does. 

Just as the jukebox allows people to enjoy music at the drop of a coin, Leftover Currency makes it easy to breathe new life into those leftover coins from your travels. We’ve helped over 25,000 people exchange their foreign currency—from outdated francs and pesetas to more recent euros. So, if you’ve got a stash of old holiday money sitting around, why not let us help you turn it into cash you can use?

In the same way that the jukebox brought people together through the shared love of music, Leftover Currency offers a way to reconnect with the value of your forgotten currency. No matter where your travels have taken you, those coins and notes still hold value, and we’re here to help you unlock it.
