Hi
I've done a bit of Googling and gone round in circles slightly.

I have a load of pre- Euro Slovak koruna notes and want to change them - I understand they still have an indefinite time period so should be OK still. But where would I take them to do this?


Thanks smile

ETA: Have found somewhere that will take them.

If you want face value i 'd suggest it's going to be the Slovak Central Bank or a Slovak 'retail' Bank , much the same as old BoE notes can be exchanged at the BoE or paid into a British bank account .

Collectable note / coin dealers might give you a reasonable price if they are collectable in any way , alternatively , any Slovak acquaintances might give you a reasonable proportion of face value ( and then exchange them next time they are 'home' or post them back for local family / friends )

That's really helpful - will see what the difference is between the Slovak bank and exchange I found.

My guess is not worth much biggrin

I found a large wedge of indonesian bank notes in a bag i'd last used on a trip there about 10 years ago. I went online to look at the exchange rate and found it was worth about £15 biggrin

I've got a 1000 Belgian Franc note at home, it's worth about 40 euros (or is it 20?), AFAIK I have to take it to the central bank in Belgium

I've a load of Dutch guilder coins, but those bds don't accept them at all any more
