A clear-out has unearthed lots of old coins from around the world, including European pre-Euro ones. Does anybody know of a charity which could make use of them?

    Any large charity - take them to an Oxfam shop for example.

    seems like people are wanting to buy them from you? if they are then probably best place is ebay if you are looking to sell them. however, if you wish to give them to charity then the best way is to take them down to your local charity shop.

    Thanks for your suggestions. We've just discovered that our local "Help The Aged" charity shop will accept them, so we're going to hand them in there as we'd rather dispose of them this way than sell them.
