About Cypriot Pounds Exchange

The Cypriot Pound (CYP) was the official currency of Cyprus until the country adopted the Euro in January 2008, making all Cypriot Pound banknotes and coins withdrawn from circulation. We accept all denominations of Cypriot Pound banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Cypriot Pound Banknotes

As the Cypriot Pound is no longer in circulation, there are no current series banknotes — every CYP banknote in existence today is a withdrawn note. If you have leftover Cypriot Pounds from a holiday or inherited collection, we can still exchange them for you.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges and banks, we accept the full range of withdrawn Cypriot Pound banknotes, including the 20 Cypriot Pound note issued 2004 and the 5 Cypriot Pound note, as well as earlier issues such as the 10 Cypriot Pound note issued 1977 and every denomination in between. Damaged notes are accepted provided they are at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower to reflect the additional handling involved.

Cypriot Pound Coins

We also accept Cypriot cent coins, including the 50 cent coin and smaller denominations such as the 10 cent and 1 cent pieces. Rates for coins are slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved, but we are happy to take them off your hands where most others will not.

Cypriot Pound Exchange FAQ

Are Cypriot Pounds still legal tender?

No. Cyprus adopted the Euro in January 2008, at which point the Cypriot Pound ceased to be legal tender. While the Central Bank of Cyprus exchanged CYP notes and coins for a period after the switch, that facility is no longer available to most UK holders — which is where we can help.

I have old Cypriot Pound banknotes from before 2000 — can I still exchange them?

Yes! We accept older issued series of Cypriot Pound banknotes, including notes issued in the 1970s, 1990s, and right up to the final series before the Euro was introduced. The rate may be marginally lower for older designs, but all series are welcome.

Do you accept Cypriot cent coins as well as pound banknotes?

Yes, we accept Cypriot cent coins alongside banknotes. This includes all denominations of cent coins first issued in 1991, from the 50 cent piece down to the 1 cent coin. Most banks and bureaux de change will not touch withdrawn foreign coins, so we are one of the few places in the UK where you can exchange them.

How do I send my Cypriot Pounds and when will I be paid?

Simply box up your Cypriot Pounds and post them to us yourself — we recommend using a tracked service for your own peace of mind. Once we receive and verify your currency, we will pay you within 5 working days by bank transfer or PayPal. If you are not happy with our offer, we will return your currency to you free of charge.

Can I exchange a damaged or torn Cypriot Pound note?

Yes, in most cases. We accept damaged Cypriot Pound banknotes provided they are at least 50% intact. The rate offered may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition, but unlike most high street exchanges we will not simply turn you away. If you are unsure whether your note qualifies, feel free to contact us before sending.
