Hi. Do all Post Offices change Euros to Pounds ?

Not all I don't think. You can use the branch finder on the Post Office website to check which do and don't...

Any post offices I've seen that do foreign currency have an electronic board which quotes the current buy and sell rates - so (in theory at least) you should be able to sell Euros back for Sterling.0

Our local travel agents- the Co-0p at least have a travel exchange bureau, not sure about Tui.
I suspect for a PO you need a Crown office- not a sub office.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

Why not go in and ask? Even if they don't hold euros they will be able to advise.0

Why let the Post Office stiff you with their awful rates when there are better alternatives:

But don't believe the rates you see - at the bottom in tiny print it'll probably say something like "rate only applies to amounts over £500 and over" or something like that.NoodleDoodleMan wrote: »Any post offices I've seen that do foreign currency have an electronic board which quotes the current buy and sell rates - so (in theory at least) you should be able to sell Euros back for Sterling.0 -
This is the best way - it's almost certain you know someone who'll be travelling to Euroland in the near future, save both yourself and your friend getting ripped off by moneychangers.PompeyPete wrote: »Sell them to a friend.0
