    If they'll take pounds in Tunisia, they'll take Euro. Don't change it back to pounds and then to Tunisian money (forgive my ignorance) and pay two lots of exchange charges, just change it straight to Tunisian money.

    Edit: Wht do you know, it's dinars. Current midpoint (with thanks to xe.com) 1.00 EUR = 1.89675 TND.

    They will take Euros I guess, if not sell them to a friend for a slightly better rate than the post office, you will lose a lot converting them to pounds or any other currency at the post office or anywhere else.
    If you can afford it then keep them until you go to a eurozone country again. DO NOT sell them back to a travel agency etc. If you can keep them for another holiday then do that.
