🌍💰 Do you have leftover foreign coins or banknotes sitting in a drawer at home?

You're not alone.

Every year, Canadians return home from international travel with foreign currency they can no longer use. Those coins and notes often end up forgotten in jars, wallets, purses, and desk drawers for years.

But what if that Leftover Foreign Currency could help support local charities and the communities they serve?

Foreign Currency Fundraising allows charities to collect unused foreign coins and banknotes and turn them into much-needed funding. It's a simple way to create additional impact using money that might otherwise never be spent again.

✔️ Easy for donors
✔️ No cost to charities
✔️ Supports local causes
✔️ Helps recirculate currency back to its home country
✔️ Creates a new source of fundraising revenue

The opportunity is significant. Billions of dollars in foreign currency are sitting unused in Canadian homes today.

At Global Coin Solutions, we help charities collect, process, and convert leftover foreign currency so they can focus on what matters most—serving their communities.

Currency for Kids and Currency for Food are examples of existing programs that help people across Ontario.

Take a look at our infographic to learn how Foreign Currency Fundraising works and why more charities are exploring this unique fundraising opportunity.

💙 Small change. Big impact.
