Leftover currency - exchange here or in another country?

starryshell

I have about £100 in leftover currencies from a trip and will be heading to a country using the Euro - am I better off doing a buyback and purchase here, or taking the currency to the country on my trip and converting it there? My gut is to take it with me and exchange there


Thoughts? Thanks!

The majority is Hungarian, with a small amount of Croatian and Polish

Take it with you and exchange directly to euros.

Making use of (fee-free overseas) cards instead of exchanging cash would help avoid the cost and hassle of re-converting excess foreign currency.

You don’t need to sort the currency as the machine does it for you

Very convenient... and of course you pay handsomely for convenience.

You do but where else do you get rid of all the change accumulated on trips abroad?

For the record, I was not talking about coins, but notes.
