    Default Coin Store

    Anyone know own or know of a coin store that buys forigen money. I have bunch of money from Europe and its not longer used. Francs, Gulders, etc were replaced by the Euro...i know my stuff is still worth money but dealing with people on ebay and the people with the fake accounts who just run your stuff up and don't pay along with the guys that bid and don't want it because its not the grade they want is a huge pain in the ass......if someone can help me out or point me in the right direction i'd give them a generous finders fee.

    Most coin shops won't touch foreign money because damn near nobody wants or collects it. Your best bet would be to hit one of the local coin shows they have up there .. only problem with that is I don't think there are any until the fall.

    A bit of updating

    Netherlands Gulden - 1297.90---Notes - 1015, Coin - 282.90
    French Francs - 745.00---------Notes - 540 , Coin - Not 100% on #
    Iceland Kronur - 9900.00--------Notes - 6500, Coin - 3400
    Swiss Francs - 66.85----------- Notes - 0 , Coin - 66.85
    German Deutschmarks - 40.50---Notes - 0, Coin - 40.50
    Italian Lire - 1850.00 -----------Notes - 1850, Coin - 0

    Does anyone know a place in pa, nj, nyc, ny state, etc that would appraise and or buy these? If so then could you give me a phone # and address I would be more than happy to give a generous finders fee.

    i have scans of the gulden notes, but i can take pics of everything, give years, the grade (don't really know how) or any other info you need PM, email or post

    If you can't find a collector or a show where you can sell it, you can always take it to a bank of the country you have money for and exchange it for USD.

    I've done it after the Euro was instated. Of course I was still living in NYC and had access to all the different countries banks. Some foreign banks here will take it all. You'd just have to find the right one and get lucky.

    Make a few phone calls to the countries banks here in the US. They can point you in the right direction if their policies have changed.

    Good Luck!

    My uncle found an old note from Brazil. It was worth about $100 US but because it's old nowhere will take it.

    You've got way more than I could buy. Here is a exchange rate calculator that's pretty easy to use and has current exchange rates.

    http://www.xe.com/ucc/ using that site

    Netherlands Gulden - 1297.90---Notes - 1015, Coin - 282.90 = 828.542 USD
    French Francs - 745.00---------Notes - 540 , Coin - Not 100% on # = 1,048.09 USD
    Iceland Kronur - 9900.00--------Notes - 6500, Coin - 3400 = 77.3840 USD
    Swiss Francs - 66.85----------- Notes - 0 , Coin - 66.85 = 61.6188 USD
    German Deutschmarks - 40.50---Notes - 0, Coin - 40.50 = 29.1954 USD
    Italian Lire - 1850.00 -----------Notes - 1850, Coin - 0 = 1.34427 USD
    Austria - 22.5------------------Notes - 0, Coin - 22.50 = 2.30076 USD

    There is a place in Annville / Cleona that sells / buys coins and such. Not sure of the number.

    A lot of airports that deal in international flights also have a currency exhange place in them.
