Don't Let Your Foreign Cash Collect Dust
A money expert has revealed that you could be unknowingly hoarding £150 in foreign currency. Many households often forget to exchange their leftover cash from holidays, leaving it hidden away in drawers. But now is the perfect time to dig it out and earn some extra cash.
Where to Exchange Your Money
Salman Haqqi from consumer website money.co.uk suggests looking beyond traditional High Street banks for the best rates. Online services often offer competitive rates and can provide information about nearby outlets where you can exchange your unspent money for British pounds.
Places to Turn Your Cash Back into Pounds
If you strike it lucky and find a significant amount of foreign currency, there are several places that will exchange it for pounds. No1 Currency, Eurochange, and NM Money currently offer £8 for every €10. The Post Office and major supermarkets also provide exchange services.
Consider Converting Your Cash for a Different Destination
If you're planning to travel to a different country in the future, you can choose to convert your cash into another currency. Leftovercurrency.com accepts over 50 different currencies, including out-of-date money. Simply determine how much you have, download or complete the exchange form on the site, choose your payment method, and send it to the company for processing.
So, what are you waiting for? Start searching those drawers and make some extra money!
