Australia is famous for many things: beautiful sunshine, picturesque coasts and reefs, and of course - the local kangaroos and koalas. Not to mention their heritage and iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Uluru. Foodies can also delight in their legendary brunch scene and world-class coffee culture.
Whatever you decide to do on your visit, travelling to Australia can be an action-packed experience. Even flying there from the UK can be an adventure of its own, especially when long layovers and multiple flights are involved. We’ll try to make buying and selling currency as easy-going as the typical Aussie, so you have one less thing to worry about.
Exchange rates may vary online and in-store. Min online order £250. Delivery/collection fee of £5.50 applies to orders below £500.
Sell your leftover Australian Dollars
After your trip to Australia, we’ll buy back any Australian Dollar notes you have left over and exchange them back into pounds (as long as we keep your currency in stock and we can accept your denominations).
If your holiday to Australia is cancelled, you can return your Australian Dollars for a full refund within 35 days of the purchase date. If you're making a return, bring your original order receipt or order confirmation, along with proof of cancellation and your ID with you. Please note returns and buybacks can only be made in-store.
