    Euro Coins

    I got back from Spain today, and have a load of euros left. Most of it is in notes, but I've got around 25 euros in coins. What exactly can I do with these now? I thought I'd be able to change them back into sterling, along with the notes, but my bank said I couldnt.

    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem when I came back from holiday, I had around 60 euros in coins to change back. Luckily for me a friend at work is going to spain soon so I have sold them to him at roughly the correct exchange rate.

    The airports have coin changing machines by those Bureau de change things in arrivals, you can get the sterling (minus a fee of course!!) or if you are feeling nice opt to donate it to charity!

    I know its a bit late now, but theres always next time! Where abouts in spain did you go by the way?
