About Bulgarian Leva Exchange
The Bulgarian Lev (BGN) is the official currency of Bulgaria, a popular destination for UK travellers visiting the Black Sea coast, the Balkan mountains, and cities such as Sofia and Plovdiv. We accept all denominations of Bulgarian Leva banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Bulgarian Leva Banknotes
Bulgaria’s current banknotes are issued by the Bulgarian National Bank and feature notable figures from Bulgarian history and culture. We accept the full range of denominations in circulation, and unlike most high street exchanges, we are happy to take any denomination you bring to us — there is no need to sort through your notes before sending them in.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
Unlike most currency exchanges, we also buy withdrawn Bulgarian Leva banknotes and notes that have seen better days — whether faded, torn, or marked. Our only requirement is that a note is at least 50% intact. Please be aware that the rate offered for old or damaged notes is slightly lower than for current series, but you will not be turned away empty-handed as you might be elsewhere. If you have leftover notes from neighbouring countries such as Romanian Lei or Serbian Dinara, we can handle those too.
Bulgarian Leva Coins
We accept a wide range of Bulgarian coins, including the 2 Leva coin and the 1 Lev coin, as well as smaller stotinki denominations such as the 50 Stotinki and everything in between. Rates for coins are slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling involved, but we are one of the few services in the UK that will buy Bulgarian coins at all.
