Default Dutch Guilders, can change for £'s?

I found some in my desk drawer, can these still be exchanged into Sterling?

Do I take them to any bureau de change or do they have to be sent to a specialist or something?! Cheers

No, but if they are notes you have until 2032 to exchange them at the Central Bank in Holland. If they are conis, it's too late.

I've got a train ticket in the envelope dated 2003 so had them a while

Had a quick google, think found a company I can send them off to for exchange, a few quid is better than useless notes sat here doing nothing

Default Yes you can!!

Thomas Exchange UK (www.thomasexchange.co.uk) can usually convert most old pre-Euro currencies back into Sterling and they also convert some of the coins as well , a guy called Paul is their obselete currency expert.

The best bet is to bring the notes to their West End branch in London (near Oxford Circus Station) and they will then convert the notes/coins into Sterling cash. Or, if you are based outside London, you can post the notes/coins to them and they can pay you by cheque (but ring in advance before you post).
