    The only option is to find another collector who wants what you have and has what you want.

    Banks and foreign exchange offices simply don't deal in coins - only folding money. (I was going to say "paper", but then I remembered that plastic is used in some countries.)

    maybe to you they are worth "zilch," but to a world collector they have value. maybe not thousands of dollars, but even $1 is more than "zilch."

    finding buyers for ordinary foreign coins that are no longer valid is pretty difficult. for example, i've got some non silver pre-decimal british and irish coins, and they are basically worthless as far as i can tell. they can't be redeemed in the country and because there are so many still out there, there is no demand. some of the coins listed, being pre-euro coins but not old enough to be rare or made of pm fall into that same category.
