Foreign Currency

Foreign world currencies are considered in two categories: modern currencies that have legal tender status, and those that do not. Currencies that can no longer be used as legal tender for the exchange of goods and services today, are called “demonetized” currency.

Coins and currency still considered as legal tender can be exchanged for newer bills, coins at the issuing central bank but you will find most banks and currency exchanges are not interested in your foreign coins, world currency notes, or small denomination bills. It can be even more difficult to exchange coins and bills from less traveled countries.

PGS Gold & Coin will exchange your foreign currency notes, bills, coins from just about every country in the world. We buy silver coins, gold coins, commemorative coins, and collectible coins and coin sets. We will also buy obsolete (demonetized) currency that no longer holds monetary exchange value from any bank. We are foreign coin and currency buyers from individuals, as well as companies and businesses. PGS Gold & Coin buys world coins and currency notes individually, and in collections and estates of any size.

Do you have a handful of pocket change coins leftover from a recent vacation? Have you discovered a pile of old currency from a family member who travelled abroad? Perhaps you just inherited an estate and find yourself overwhelmed with a stockpile of foreign world currency bills and coins that you cannot identify. PGS Gold & Coin are expert World Foreign Currency buyers, sellers, appraisers. We will help you evaluate your collection large or small, and buy your foreign coins and currency notes that even the banks and currency exchanges won’t take. You can find us at three convenient locations in Illinois: Palatine, Schaumburg, and Wheaton, or call us at 888-416-2701.​
