Euros to £££s

Hi
I have about £15 worth of euros in coins, I have tried to change them back in the post office and they only accept notes. Is there anywhere that would change these coins back to sterling?

Thanks in advance

    Any friends, family or colleagues travelling within Eurozone that would buy them from you?

    If you knock out the center of the 1 euro coin it will work in the "What The Butler Saw" machine on Southend Pier.......

    Assuming you will be taking another holiday in the future to a country that uses Euros, just do what I do and put any left over currency (even if it's 20 or 30 Euros) in the bottom of your suitcase and forget about it.

    It is then a bonus when you open your suitcase to pack for your next holiday and find a few Euros that you had forgotten about :D
