Hey,

I have a bag of really misc coins (mexican, pre-euro, african etc). Anyone know if any charities take these? Seems a pity to bin them...

If you know anyone who's going on holiday, give them to them. Collection boxes all over the airport that take all currencies

Most airlines have bags in the seats to take foreign currency for charity as well.

UNICEF will take them - most of the collection bags I've seen in aeroplanes are for UNICEF. You might get some contact info here > www.unicef.ie
