We have had the opportunity to travel abroad and always end up with extra currency/coins from the various countries. At first, it's exciting to have and show anyone in the family who didn't get to go. But then, the Moroccan coin shows up in a coin jar as you are rolling coins to take to the bank. What to do with it?
Ideas could be:
Keep a small box of foreign coins
Go up to a money exchange place and exchange back into US coinage/currency
I'm not sure if you can recycle foreign coins
Make friends in the US with someone who has ties to that country and may be visiting again
If anyone else has good ideas, please offer. I know foreign coins don't take up much space, but they can be annoying like "a bad penny that keeps showing up."
