You can exchange the pre-euro currencies for euros at the national bank of the country that issued them.
So, if you have French Francs, you can exchange those for Euros at a branch of the French national bank.
You could then exchange those euros again for pounds.
A commission charge may apply for small amounts, but generally the national banks are still exchanging the old currencies for the new ones, at least when banknotes are concerned. Some banks have stopped accepting coins, but it is hardly worth the trouble to exchange coins anyways.
See http://www.ecb.int/bc/exchange/html/index.en.html for details.

Unless you find a currency collector, you're "out of the money"! The old currencies have very little or no value. When the Euro was put into use, many people had already saved a few of their national and international notes. personally, I have Guilders,Lira, Deutsche Marks and Francs galore!
