About Hungarian Forint Exchange

The Hungarian Forint (HUF) is the official currency of Hungary, one of the few EU member states that has retained its own currency rather than adopting the Euro. We accept all denominations of Hungarian Forint banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Hungarian Forint Banknotes

Hungary’s current banknotes are issued by the Magyar Nemzeti Bank and feature a range of denominations in a consistent modern design incorporating watermarks, security threads, and raised print. We accept all current Forint notes, including higher-value denominations such as the 10,000 Forint note and the 5,000 Forint note, as well as every denomination in between. If you have returned from Budapest or elsewhere in Hungary with unspent notes, we can convert them for you quickly and easily.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy older withdrawn Hungarian Forint banknotes, including earlier issues such as the 5,000 Forint note issued in 1992 and the 1,000 Forint note issued in 1983. We apply the standard 50% intact rule for damaged notes — as long as more than half of the banknote is present, we will make you an offer. Rates for older and damaged notes are slightly lower than for current series, but we will always be transparent about what you will receive.

Hungarian Forint Coins

We accept Hungarian Forint coins across a range of denominations, including the 200 Forint coin and smaller denominations such as the 100 Forint coin, along with all other Forint coins you may have. Coins are accepted at a slightly lower rate than banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved, but unlike most banks and travel money services, we won’t turn them away. If you also have leftover coins from neighbouring countries, we exchange Czech Koruna and Romanian Lei too.

Hungarian Forint Exchange FAQ

Is the Hungarian Forint still in use, or has Hungary switched to the Euro?

Hungary is a member of the European Union but has not adopted the Euro — the Forint remains the official currency of Hungary today. This means current Forint banknotes and coins are fully exchangeable with us, and you are unlikely to have truly obsolete notes unless they are from an older withdrawn series.

I have old Hungarian Forint banknotes from a trip years ago — can I still exchange them?

Yes, we accept older withdrawn Forint banknotes, including earlier issues that are no longer in circulation. The rate will be slightly lower than for current series notes, but we will still make you an offer as long as more than half of the note is intact.

Do you accept Hungarian Forint coins as well as banknotes?

Yes, we do — we accept Hungarian Forint coins across denominations, including the 200 Forint and 100 Forint coins. Most banks and travel money bureaux refuse loose coins, but we welcome them, although the exchange rate is slightly lower than for banknotes due to handling costs.

How do I send my Hungarian Forints to you and when will I be paid?

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

Can I exchange a mix of current and older Forint banknotes in the same transaction?

Yes, absolutely — you can send current and withdrawn Forint notes together in the same parcel and we will assess each note individually. Current series notes will receive the standard rate, while older or withdrawn notes will be valued at a slightly lower rate, and we will confirm the full breakdown before making payment.
