Old foreign currency

[jacey]

I have just been having a clear out and found a pile of Escudos. Are they still of value to anywhere? maybe a charity or something. If not I'll just bin them. Thanks :-)

Hi jacey

When Euros first came into circulation, many charity shops had a box/bottle for people to donate any spare currency they had from their travels, and Sainsburys also had a box on the wall near the CS desk. I don't know if this is the case still, but it is worth asking.

Thanks P & M :-)
