how do you exchange old European currency (from several countries) into US dollars or Euros?

Answer 1

National central banks will change banknotes for a fee at least through 2012. That means that you have to visit the NATIONAL BANK in each country.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Confused Hal has got it right. The weaker the economy, the weaker the Pound and the more deficit in the Governments budget, the less likely the EU will accept the UK into the Euro. It is not up to the UK alone if it can join the Euro. And since so many British people want the UK to leave the EU, Britain should not be aloud to join the Euro.

Answer 3

Love2 travel is right. You can go to the National Banks of those countries and exchange them for Euros. you will then have to pay for the conversion into US dollars if you need to.

Answer 4

If you mean old currency such as the French frank, or Spanish peseta, then I think you are too late.

There was a period after they changed that you could get your currency changed to dollars (or Euros) but that was a while ago.

Answer 5

I wonder if you could sell it on eBay??? I am a collector of money in the U.S. and a good deal on some foreign money would get me bidding! :) I am not the kind of collector that has thousands of dollars in rare coins, I just like money from other places and old coins (usually not in the best shape)

I'll bet there are lots of people like me, so try to sell them as collector's items on eBay.

Good luck. :)

Answer 6

go to the bank.
