What to do with old pounds?
Old pounds
If you have old British pounds, Scottish pounds, or Irish pounds, which have already been withdrawn from circulation, then you don’t need to worry that they have lost their value. You can exchange them profitably on the old-cash.com website, which offers purchasing of old pounds and other old banknotes from different parts of the world. We also provide the possibility to purchase old currencies valid before the introduction of the euro, which can’t be exchanged in a local bank or currency exchange anymore. The exchange of old pounds is available irrespective of the denomination and the year the banknote was issued.
Since September 2016, the Bank of England has been in the process of replacing paper banknotes with a new polymer version, which is better protected against forgery. After finishing this process of putting into circulation the banknotes with the new graphic design, you will only be able to make payments for purchasing goods and services with polymer banknotes. You can exchange paper pounds withdrawn from circulation both by visiting a branch in person or using a shipping form by sending a package with the banknotes using a courier or at a post office.
How to exchange old pounds?
Simply visit the www.old-cash.com website and select the appropriate currency, then, using the photos provided, select the banknote(s) that you want to exchange by adding them to the wallet. The final step is to fill in a form on which you provide your personal data and information about the bank and account number to receive the transfer from the website.
The package with the exchange form printed out should be sent to the main office address:
Exchange Office old-cash
KANTOR DUKAT – GALLERY GROCHOW

When it’s not possible to print out the exchange form, all you have to do is provide your personal data and payment details on the website. You will receive payment for the banknotes sold by a bank transfer in one of the four currencies available (EUR, USD, GBP, or PLN) within a maximum of 4 working days.
We don’t charge extra fees and commissions. However, make sure that the payment currency selected is the same as the currency in which your bank account is held, otherwise, the bank where you have your account will convert from the currency that you selected as a payment method to the currency in which your bank account is held, probably on unfavourable terms.
