What to do with old French money?

I am studying in London and my family recently came across some old french money and sent it to me. I took it to the bureau de change and they told me that the only way to get anything for it would be to do it at a bank in France. I have already been to France this semester and probably won't be back? Do I have any other options?

You may have already missed the deadlines for exchanging some banknotes. For those which can still be redeemed one can use refgistered mail to do so. Please refer to this webpage: http://www.banque-france.fr/gb/instit/billets/page1.htm

Save it!! Its always great to have a bit of money from another country. I find change all the time from different country's that I may never see at all. I love to find stuff like that. If you dont want to keep it give it to someone who wants it and if its old money its better to keep it then spend it.

Assuming is is not a lot of money, check with the nearby international airport. Charities often have donation boxes in airports and you can put any currency in them for a good cause.

You can also mail the cash to a charity in France.

if they are old a coin dealer may be interested...other than that ebay

sedfr

Unfortunately, this is too late for the coins, they now have only collector value.
As for the banknote, some are already not legal anymore, some can still be exchanged but only at the "Banque de France" which does not means a bank in france but is the name of the money institution of france.
Here is a link that will give you the last exchange date and rate for each banknote (go to the bottom of the page)

Well the only Frenck Bank that could help you is "La Banque de France" which the banks' bank. It's the only bank that is able to exchange French francs into euros. And I'lm not even sure they're still exchanging coins.
French francs are no more used so no longer considered as a currency so no exchange rate can be found.
I'd try ebay, maybe you'll make a good deal for a collection?

Adrina

Save it or deposit it in your account. It might take a while but eventually they'll get the exchange rate and credit your account.

K.Heat

Maybe a travel agent can change it for you, or tell you who could.

Mari76

I don't know how much money it is. You could either keep it...it would be nice to show your kids or gandkids French money one day OR like someone already mentioned you could go to an international airport and donate it. When I travel, I usually donate the extra coins I have in my pocket.
