Simple and fair While liquidating a business I found a box of leftover currency from foreign trips employees had taken over the years. Most of it consisted of obsolete bills that were no longer legal tender and could only be exchanged at the central bank in the issuing country. I was relieved to learn that I could mail these to FCCE for exchange at rates it publishes on line. The discount was reasonable in light of the service performed. The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with. The process was fast and convenient. U.S. dollars appeared in my account the day the bills arrived.

The Places You Find on The Web! I found your company out of the blue while surfing to try to get rid of some foreign currency. Pretty straightforward website, and transaction, and it all concluded inside of a week with cash in my Paypal! I'm pretty impressed, and will use FCCE again.

Probably the best/only mail-in option available One gift card that I sent was not credited. The rest of the currency, coins and cards were properly exchanged and the total was promptly deposited into my bank account. I followed up twice, hoping to clear up what happened. I never got a response. According to the order form that I submitted, the item was a $10 gift card worth $5, so it wasn't a huge deal, but I would have appreciated some explanation, like 1) We don't accept that kind of card anymore, 2) There was something wrong with the card, or 3) Whoops, we'll take another look and get back to you. This is a really unique service so I wanted it to be useful, but I can't strongly recommend that people put a lot of trust in it. I'd be reluctant to use it again. Definitely read the ENTIRE website like I did. As the owner recommends, always send money using a service with tracking numbers. I will add: photograph everything you send, and don't send large amounts in one order...just in case something is lost. If you have a big jar of random coins and currency that's collecting dust, this might be worth a try. You don't have much to lose. I liked being able to send gift cards that I wasn't likely to use.

Efficient Service I was initially hesitant to send my currency in the mail to an company I had never used before. However, with limited options in town, I thought I would take the chance. The website process was straightforward. The form that I was supposed to print and enclose in the envelope did not load correctly, so I just took a screenshot and sent that instead. They sent an email once the currency had been received and the exchanged currency was processed about 5 days later. After this initial experience I would definitely use the company again.

Easy and fast Easy and fast. Sent in an unsorted bag of obscure currencies for $15 shipping and got back over $600. No receipt and a bit old school process overall but they execute well.
