Many people often have some old foreign coins and banknotes tucked away somewhere in a drawer. If this is you - we are currently looking for a number of coins from the pre-Euro age and any old British coins/notes that are no longer in circulation:
- Austrian Schilling
- Belgian Francs
- Deutsche Mark
- Dutch Guilders
- French Francs
- German Marks
- Greek Drachmas
- Irish Pounds
- Italian Lira
- Luxembourg Francs
- Maltese Lira
- Portuguese Escudos
- Spanish Pesetas
- Slovenian Tolars
- Old British coins/notes no longer in circulation
If you have any of these, please simply send your coins/notes to Carmelite Friars, P.O. Box 140, Kent, ME20 7SJ. Please make sure you have the correct postage on anything you send us. Or, alternatively, you can bring your old coins and notes to the Shrine. All those who send us some old coins/notes will receive a complimentary prayer card as a thank you, so please make sure you send it with your address.
When we convert the currency, the money will be used for the work of the Shrine and the Carmelites in Britain and abroad.
Thank you.
