No Way !! <smile>

Euros are considered a 'Foreign Currency' and while I can change Euro
Notes - coins are a No No.

Unless I am mistaken 'You Lot - Over There <smile>' still have Dollar
coins - again absolutely worthless in the UK as are 'Foriegn' coins
from any country in any denomination. - In fact that has always been
the way.
Many years ago [when I was a mere youth] I used to work for a Bank -
foreign coins went straight in the bin - however 'valuable' they might
have been in terms of denomination - and that was not just at small
branches but also those who had Bureau-de-Change who in those days
carried stocks of just about everything. It was, and is, a
'Note-based' system.
