About Austrian Schilling Exchange
The Austrian Schilling (ATS) was the official currency of Austria until it was replaced by the Euro in 2002. We accept all denominations of Schilling banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Austrian Schilling Banknotes
As the Schilling is no longer in circulation, there are no current-series banknotes — every note is now a withdrawn issue. Austria produced a rich variety of banknotes over the decades, featuring some of history’s most celebrated Austrians, including the 1000 Schilling note featuring Karl Landsteiner and the 5000 Schilling note featuring Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, alongside many others. We accept all denominations across every series ever issued.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most high street exchanges, we buy withdrawn Austrian Schilling banknotes from every era, including mid-twentieth century issues such as the 50 Schilling Sigmund Freud note and earlier designs going back to the 1950s and 1960s. We also accept damaged notes, provided they remain at least 50% intact. Rates for older and damaged notes are slightly lower to reflect condition and handling, but you will never be turned away simply because a note is worn or from an older series. If you have other withdrawn European currencies to exchange, such as Deutsche Marks or French Francs, we can help with those too.
Austrian Schilling Coins
We accept Austrian Schilling coins, including Groschen subdivisions such as the 50 Groschen coin, as well as higher-value pieces like the 50 Schilling coin and everything in between. Coin exchange rates are slightly lower than banknote rates due to the additional handling involved, but we are happy to take them where most banks and bureaux de change will not.
