What can I do with leftover euro coins?

It can be difficult to exchange leftover euro coins. Banks and foreign exchange companies don't generally accept coins because they're expensive to process and transport, so your options for exchanging any leftover shrapnel back into pounds can be limited:

  • Spend euro coins while you're still in Europe. It sounds obvious, but the best way of using up any loose change is to spend it before you arrive back in the UK. Duty-free shops at the airport are ideal for this.
  • Save it for your next trip. If you're planning to visit Europe again in the near future, it may be worth keeping hold of any change so you can spend it later.
  • Donate it to charity. Charities will be grateful for any euro coin donations regardless of value.

Euros to pounds Sterling

One euro (€) can be subdivided into 100 cents (c). There are seven denominations of euro banknotes in circulation: €5, €10, €20, €50 and €100 which are frequently used, plus €200 and €500 notes which are no longer printed but are still in circulation and remain legal tender.

There are two sets of euro banknotes in use: the original first series which was introduced by the European Central Bank in 2002, and the second 'Europa' series which was introduced in 2013. Both series are legal tender, but banknotes from the first series are gradually being phased out and replaced by the newer Europa notes. You don't need to know which banknote series you have as the older notes are worth the same as their newer equivalents.

Banknotes from the Europa series feature a common design theme across all denominations which is centered around architectural styles from different periods in European history. The €5 note depicts Classical architecture; the €10 euro note features Romanesque architecture; the €20 note showcases Gothic architecture; on the €50 note it's Renaissance architecture, and the €100 euro note highlights Baroque and Rococo architecture. The highest denomination banknotes, €200 and €500, feature architecture from the 19th and 20th centuries. Alongside architectural elements, the each banknote also feature a portrait of Europa; a Phoenician princess from Greek mythology which is intended to symbolise Europe's historical and cultural heritage, as well as its unity and integration.
