<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2111358, member: 19463&quot;]When my wife returned to the US from a trip to London, she had a few pounds left over.&nbsp; The 5 and 10 note could be exchanged at the bank but their $15 fee for the service made small amounts not worth doing so we ended up giving them to a friend planning a trip.&nbsp; The 3-4 pounds worth of one pound and smaller coins would not be touched by the local bank even if we had a thousand of them.&nbsp; How much effort is it worth to find someone to make a tiny exchange?&nbsp; I suspect it is similar in the other direction.&nbsp; I went to a coin show where a dealer had a pickout pot for foreign coins and was allowing kids to take one coin free just for being there.&nbsp; I saw several kids take coins but last I saw the 2 Euro coin was still in there.&nbsp; I could have bought it for a quarter but I don&#039;t plan on going to Europe and don&#039;t know what I&#039;d do with it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I understand there is a problem with fake pound coins circulating in the UK.&nbsp; Perhaps some of these coins really are not worth a quarter???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
