Where can I convert euro coins back to £s?

Am I right to think that Thomas Cook will convert euro coins (€1 and €2s) back to £s? I think I remember reading it somewhere, but am not 100%.

If not, apart from selling to a friend/relative, does anyone else accept them?

Thanks.

    I dont thin Travel Agents will take coins, only notes.

    Charity shops will certainly take them ifyoure feeling benevolent.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

  • Thanks, just wanted confirmation before traipsing into town.

    I have a huge tupperware box full of small change to go on the charity box tomorro, but have €28 in €1 & €2 coins, and could do with the extra £s.
