About Finnish Markkaa Exchange

The Finnish Markka (FIM) was the official currency of Finland until the country adopted the Euro in 2002, making all Markkaa banknotes and coins withdrawn from circulation. We accept all denominations of Finnish Markka banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Finnish Markka Banknotes

As Finland joined the eurozone in 2002, there are no current Finnish Markka banknotes in circulation — all series are now withdrawn. If you’re looking to exchange modern Finnish currency, Finland now uses the Euro. We do, however, accept the full range of Finnish Markka banknotes that were issued prior to the switchover.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we accept withdrawn Finnish Markka banknotes, including well-known denominations such as the 500 Markka and the 100 Markka, as well as lower values including the 50 Markka. We also consider damaged notes, provided they remain at least 50% intact, though the rate offered may be slightly lower to reflect the additional handling involved.

Finnish Markka Coins

We accept Finnish Markka coins, which were issued in denominations of 10 and 50 penniä, as well as 1, 5 and 10 Markka. Because coins require additional handling and sorting, the rate offered is typically a little lower than for banknotes, but we’re happy to take them where most other exchange services won’t.

Finnish Markka Exchange FAQ

Finland now uses the Euro — can I still exchange my old Finnish Markkaa?

Yes! Finland replaced the Markka with the Euro in 2002, but that doesn’t mean your old banknotes are worthless. We specialise in withdrawn currencies like the Finnish Markka, so we’re able to exchange them even though they are no longer legal tender in Finland.

Can I exchange damaged or worn Finnish Markka banknotes?

Yes, we do accept damaged Finnish Markka notes in many cases. As long as the note is at least 50% intact, we will consider it for exchange, though the rate may be slightly lower than for notes in good condition. If you’re unsure whether your notes qualify, feel free to contact us before sending.

How do I send my Finnish Markkaa and when will I be paid?

Simply box up your Finnish Markka banknotes and coins and post them to us yourself — we recommend using a tracked service for peace of mind. Once we receive and verify your currency, we’ll pay you within 5 working days via bank transfer or PayPal. If you’re not happy with our offer, we’ll return your currency to you free of charge.

Do you accept Finnish Markka coins as well as banknotes?

Yes, we accept Finnish Markka coins alongside banknotes. The rate for coins is typically a little lower than for notes due to the extra handling involved, but unlike many exchange services, we won’t turn them away. Simply include them with your banknotes when you post your currency to us.

Are Finnish Markkaa accepted by banks or post offices in the UK?

No, Finnish Markkaa are a withdrawn pre-Euro currency and UK banks and post offices will not exchange them. We specialise in exactly this type of currency, so if you have leftover Markkaa from a trip to Finland — or found some tucked away at home — we can convert them for you. You might also have other old European currencies worth exchanging, such as Deutsche Marks or French Francs.
