You can now donate foreign coins and notes, as well as old British and Irish currency that’s no longer in circulation. Whether it’s spare change from a past holiday or a forgotten stash of old notes, your donation can make a real difference.
Encourage friends, family, and colleagues to join in – it’s a simple, cost-free way to support a great cause.

How to Donate
There are two main ways to donate your foreign or old currency:
Online via Cash4Coins' Freepost service
You can send your currency directly by post. Here’s how:
• Package your coins and notes securely in a padded envelope or small box.
• Include a note with your name and contact details (optional, if you'd like a thank-you or receipt).
• Send to C4C services (full address details available at cash4coins/the-childrens-trust)
Tip: Use a tracked service if you're sending a large amount or valuable notes.
For larger collections weighing 10kg or more, you can request a collection from Cash4coins.
Drop-off at your local charity shop
You can also drop-off your old or foreign currency at one of our Children's Trust charity shops.
