About Albanian Leke Exchange
The Albanian Lek (ALL) is the official currency of Albania, a country on the Adriatic coast of southeastern Europe. We accept all denominations of Albanian Leke banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Albanian Leke Banknotes
Albania’s current banknotes feature updated designs and modern security features including watermarks, security threads, and colour-shifting ink. We accept the full range of current notes, including higher-value denominations such as the 10,000 Leke and the 5,000 Leke, as well as smaller notes right down to the 200 ALL. Unlike most high street exchanges, we’re happy to take all current denominations.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most currency exchanges, we also accept older and withdrawn Albanian Leke banknotes, including earlier series that most UK banks and bureaux de change will simply turn away. We can exchange a wide range of these older notes, such as the 5,000 Lek (Skanderbeg, 1999) and the 1,000 Lek (Pjetër Bogdani, 1996), along with even earlier issues from 1992. Damaged notes are accepted provided they remain at least 50% intact, though the rate applied may be slightly lower than for undamaged currency.
Albanian Leke Coins
We accept a range of Albanian Leke coins that most exchange services refuse to handle, including the 100 Leke coin and the 50 Leke coin, as well as smaller denominations. Because coins require additional handling and sorting, the exchange rate applied is slightly lower than for banknotes, but it means your leftover change doesn’t have to go to waste.
