About Gibraltar Pounds Exchange

The Gibraltar Pound (GIP) is the official currency of Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, pegged at par with sterling. We accept all denominations of Gibraltar pound banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Gibraltar Banknotes

Gibraltar’s most recent banknotes were issued in 2010 and 2011 and feature a range of denominations suited to everyday use and larger transactions. We accept all current Gibraltar pound banknotes, including the Gibraltar 50 pound note and the Gibraltar 20 pound note, as well as all smaller denominations. Gibraltar pounds are not widely accepted at UK banks or currency exchanges, so if you’ve returned from the Rock with leftover notes, we’re one of the easiest ways to convert them.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we buy older and withdrawn Gibraltar banknotes, including issues going back several decades. Notes such as the 1986 Gibraltar 50 pound note and the 1958 Gibraltar 5 pound note are all considered, as are damaged notes provided they remain at least 50% intact. The rate offered for older or damaged notes may be slightly lower than for current series, but we’ll always make you a fair offer.

Gibraltar Pound Coins

We also accept Gibraltar coins, which are not interchangeable with UK coinage despite sharing the same denominations. These include the Gibraltar 2 pound coin and the Gibraltar 50 pence coin, along with all other circulating coin values. Rates for coins are slightly lower than for banknotes due to the additional handling involved, but we accept them where most exchanges won’t.

Gibraltar Pound Exchange FAQ

Are Gibraltar pounds the same as British pounds?

No. Although the Gibraltar pound is pegged at par with sterling and shares the same denominations, Gibraltar pound banknotes and coins are issued separately by the Government of Gibraltar and are not legal tender in the UK. Most UK retailers and banks will not accept them, which is why exchanging them through a specialist service is the practical option.

Can I exchange very old Gibraltar banknotes, such as those issued in the 1950s or 1970s?

Yes, we do accept older Gibraltar banknotes, including issues from the mid-twentieth century. We consider notes such as the 1958 and 1975 series, provided the note is at least 50% intact. The rate may be slightly lower than for more recent issues, but we’ll assess each note fairly.

Do you accept Gibraltar coins as well as banknotes?

Yes! We buy a range of Gibraltar coins, including the 2 pound coin and smaller denominations such as the 50 pence and 5 pence coins. Gibraltar coins feature distinct local designs and are not accepted as UK currency, so sending them to us is a straightforward way to recover their value.

How do I send my Gibraltar pounds to you and when will I be paid?

Simply box up your Gibraltar banknotes and coins securely and post them to us at your own arrangement. Once we receive and verify your currency, we’ll pay you within 5 working days by bank transfer or PayPal. If for any reason you’re not happy with the rate we offer, we’ll return your currency to you free of charge.

I have a mix of Gibraltar pounds and other British territory currencies — can you handle them together?

Yes, we handle a wide range of British territory and Crown dependency currencies, so you’re welcome to send different currencies together. Alongside Gibraltar pounds, we also exchange Falkland Islands pounds, Guernsey pounds, and Jersey pounds, among others. Each currency is assessed and quoted separately, but there’s no need to make multiple separate submissions.
