Hi,
I found this forum and hoped somebody could help!
Basically, when my parents/relatives/freinds got un holiday they generally come back with pockets full of coins that the cant exchange (everything below 1 + 2 euro coins). Ive been happilly accepting these coins for my collection and have now got alomost 3 biscuit tins full of euros (including one large tin of 50 cent peices!) Im thinking about taking the eurostar or a ferry to france in the hope of exchanging them for euro notes then exchanging them for uk pounds at the travelex so i can start my xmas shopping. would this be possible..? does france have the automatic coin sorting machines like the uk? do i have to put the coins in little plastic post office bags like over here..? do i need a bank account to exchange? is there a minimum...? any advice would be great! Ive only been to France once before, i went to paris and stayed at the hilton in a garden view room and i could see the Eiffel Tower from my window!... Looks kinda cool at night when it goes all sparkly!
Merci!

Sounds good. Most places have the coin sorting places, or just take it to the bank as they can do it really quickly.
