Please let us know if you would like to order in advance a particular sum of foreign money. In this way you can be certain that the currency you need will be available when you travel. There is no charge for this service, but we may ask for a deposit if the currency is a less-common one or if the amount is large. Likewise, if you wish to sell a less-common currency or a large amount, it will help us to give good service if you call us in advance. If you find that you have some obsolete banknotes , they may still have value.
Some countries withdraw banknotes from circulation when they change designs.
You may be able to redeem them on a future trip, or in some cases we may be prepared to buy them, though at a discount. Our staff can advise. Some countries issue banknotes in larger denominations than we are used to dealing with in Canada. While some European visitors are comfortable with denominations of this size, and bring them to us to exchange, we know that most Canadians are not accustomed to carrying such large bills. To encourage our Canadian customers to consider taking the larger denominations we sell them at a slight discount.
