Exchanging Foreign Coins

Hi,

I hope that I'm in the right place, if not, could you point me to where I should be?

Can anyone help? I have a fair amount of foreign coins, where can I exchange them? Also, is there anything that can be done for out of legal tender currencies such as Francs?

Thanks in advance.

    Most banks won't exchange coins now. There's a company called cash4coins that may be able to help you.

    Bank will only exchange notes. Charity shops will take them off your hands.
