Use our euro buyback comparisons to find the best deal, then follow the link to the buyer's website to place your order online and lock-in your buyback rate.

It can be difficult to exchange leftover euro coins. Banks and foreign exchange companies don't generally accept coins because they're expensive to process and transport, so your options for exchanging any leftover shrapnel back into pounds can be limited:
Over the past 30 days, the Euro buyback rate has risen 0.42% from 1.2109 on 24 Nov to 1.216 today. This means Euros can be exchanged for more pounds today compared to a month ago. Right now, €100 is worth approximately £82.24 which is £0.35 more than you'd have got on 24 Nov.
These are the average Euro buyback rates taken from our panel of UK travel money providers at the end of each day. You can explore this further on our Euro to British pound currency chart.
No, you'll get more for your euros if you sell when the euro buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy euros, the exchange rate you get is the amount of euros you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 1.2109 means you'd get €1.2109 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of euros you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling euros, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many euros you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 1.2109 means you'd need to sell €1.2109 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of euros, you need to divide the euro amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One euro (€) can be subdivided into 100 cents (c). There are seven denominations of euro banknotes in circulation: €5, €10, €20, €50 and €100 which are frequently used, plus €200 and €500 notes which are no longer printed but are still in circulation and remain legal tender.
There are two sets of euro banknotes in use: the original first series which was introduced by the European Central Bank in 2002, and the second 'Europa' series which was introduced in 2013. Both series are legal tender, but banknotes from the first series are gradually being phased out and replaced by the newer Europa notes. You don't need to know which banknote series you have as the older notes are worth the same as their newer equivalents.
Banknotes from the Europa series feature a common design theme across all denominations which is centered around architectural styles from different periods in European history. The €5 note depicts Classical architecture; the €10 euro note features Romanesque architecture; the €20 note showcases Gothic architecture; on the €50 note it's Renaissance architecture, and the €100 euro note highlights Baroque and Rococo architecture. The highest denomination banknotes, €200 and €500, feature architecture from the 19th and 20th centuries. Alongside architectural elements, the each banknote also feature a portrait of Europa; a Phoenician princess from Greek mythology which is intended to symbolise Europe's historical and cultural heritage, as well as its unity and integration.
