Exchange Tunisian Dinar back to GBP in the UK

Hi,

I was due to go to Tunisia a week after the terror attacks but the holiday was obviously cancelled. For that holiday I bought £150 of Tunisian Dina from Best Currency Exchange in Hammersmith.

I've been looking to exchange the money back to GBP but it appears nowhere will exchange it back.

Does anybody know of any company that will change Dinar back to GBP in the UK? I've been googling but haven't had any success. It seems strange I can buy but not sell?!

Thanks

    The Tunisian Dinar is a closed currency which is why you can't exchange it back. I'm surprised you could buy it.

    Agree with leylandsunaddict about the Tunisian currency being a closed one.

    Have you spoken to the people you bought it from?
