<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1417300, member: 39&quot;]You have two problems. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> First, banks in your country (judging from what you wrote, I guess you are outside the euro area) will not exchange pre-euro currency, and certainly not coins. The other issue is that, for the pre-euro cash from some countries, the redemption period is over anyway - that is, even the central bank of that country would not take it any more.</p><p><br /></p><p>* The pre-euro <b>coins</b> from the following countries cannot be redeemed any more:</p><p>Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal.</p><p>* The pre-euro <b>notes</b> from the following countries cannot be redeemed any more:</p><p>Finland, France, Greece, Italy.</p><p><br /></p><p>So unless you have a lot of coins from a country that still redeems the older money, and can &quot;invest&quot; quite a bit of time, your best bet (in my opinion) is to try and sell the bag to a dealer. This way you would not get much though. Or, and this is the better way if you have the time, go through the bag, and look for pieces that are well preserved. Also, if you come across anything that could be silver, make sure it actually is. Then try to sell those &quot;special&quot; pieces on, say, eBay ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
