How to exchange foreign coins from multiple countries?

I've amassed $5-15 worth of loose coins from over a dozen countries. My traveling days are over, I'd like to exchange them. Does anyone know if the exchange place would only charge a flat exchange fee or one based on the total amount of all the currency, or would they charge a flat rate/percentage based fee for each country's currency I exchange?How to exchange foreign coins from multiple countries?Banks and currency exchanges don't deal with coins. There are charity organizations that will accept them though. United Airlines, for example, runs one.



If this were all from one country, you might be able to find someone that is going soon and would like a small amount on arrival. You could do a straight exchange without commissions/fees and both benefit. In your case, that probably work out since the amount is small and varied. The coins may no longer have any value either since a lot of Europe has gone to the Euro.



The idea that someone else suggested of giving them to kids as collector's items is pretty good too.How to exchange foreign coins from multiple countries?from ur nearest airports money exchange counter.Best of luck!How to exchange foreign coins from multiple countries?i dont think the bank deals with foreign coins, just notes.



there are usually these little places at the airport that deal with forign exchange only so that would be your best bet.



why would you bother for that much money though?How to exchange foreign coins from multiple countries?just give them to some kids. no bank/exchange house is interested in exchanging coins because of their weight in comparison to bills.
