Charity Fund-Raising

[hessian]

A small village charity has a large amount of demonetarised UK coinage (Old copper pennies, half-pennies and large sized 5p, 10p and 50p). Where can one exchange them for cash? The big charities obviously can do it but am unable to learn how.

The Bank of England will change old money but not sure about Pre decimal. If you have loads and loads then the copper content might have more value than the face value, you could also try selling it to collectors, either sell it to a numismatist shop or directly, say on eBay.

Try your local Post Office. They may well be able to send back at least the 5ps, 10ps and 50ps, exchanging them for you at face value.
