Out-of-date Norwegian currency - any way that I can exchange this?

uklloydi

I visited Norway a couple of times back in 2013/2015, and I had some currency left over. I didn't exchange it afterwards as I thought I may go back. Well, you know where this is going ...

I tried to exchange some Norwegian notes that I had not used - in fact they had never been used by anyone! - but the notes were dated 2015, and the exchanges only took notes from 2017 or afterwards. I tried a travel agent, Post Office and bank. None could exchange the notes.

It's not a huge amount, but it's £80 that I might as well have in my pocket if there is an way possible.

If anyone knows how I might realistically be able to do this, I'd appreciate it. The notes are 50 Krona, dated 2015.

Looks like you can send them to Norges Bank and they'll even credit an overseas account with the proceeds in £!

If all else fails, there is https://www.leftovercurrency.com/ but you'll only get about half the value
