High Street buy back - help please.

Hi,

I have a small amount of Czech Koruna left from my weekend trip and was wondering where the best high street buy back would be?

I withdrew to much cash while over there so looking for a company that will buy back currency they didn't sell.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Calum

    Probably best to sell it to someone who's going there soon.

    If you're in London then someone like Change link are buying at 31.1, otherwise have a look at Martins travel money maximiser.

    Thanks for the responses!

    Unfortunately I don't know anyone heading out there. I did have a look at the money maximiser but its is only online exchanges. Oh and I don't live in London.

    Anyone know of any high street operator?

    If it's more than about £50 worth it's probably worth sending the cash by secure delivery to one of the places in London and they will pay Sterling into your bank account or send you a cheque.

    Otherwise it's probably just the usual suspects like the Post Office.
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
    On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning

    Thanks benjus..its only about £35 so probably not worth sending away.

    I wasn't sure if the post office took back money that they didn't sell, i'll check though.
