Have unused foreign currency tucked away in drawers or on shelves? Consider turning it into support for disaster-stricken areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PBV is excited to announce a new partnership with Global Coin Solutions (GCS)<\/a>, aiming to boost contributions through foreign currency donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While PBV has traditionally welcomed foreign currency donations, the process involved sorting coins by country, finding agencies to convert each currency, and coordinating with banks for transfers. This has previously been a multi-step challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Global Coin Solutions (GCS), our new partner, specialising in handling foreign currency sorting, processing, and transfers. GCS collaborates globally with banks, governments, mints, and private entities, ensuring that your contributions are efficiently and swiftly channelled back to PBV.<\/p>\n\n\n

You might be wondering:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Can I donate if I don\u2019t recognise the currency?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Is it okay if currencies from various countries are mixed together?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Will small change really make a difference?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No need to worry! We accept rare and unidentifiable currencies. All currencies are welcome! Our specialist machines will handle the sorting, so mixed currencies are no issue! Every donation counts. We welcome everything from single coins to small banknotes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every foreign currency donation will be transformed into essential funding for disaster relief efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support PBV\u2019s disaster relief initiatives with your foreign currency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
