About Pakistani Rupee Exchange

The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) is the official currency of Pakistan, issued and regulated by the State Bank of Pakistan. We accept all denominations of Pakistani Rupee banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.

Current Pakistani Rupee Banknotes

Pakistan’s current banknote series features a range of denominations produced since the mid-2000s, incorporating modern security features such as watermarks, security threads, and colour-shifting ink. We accept all current notes, including higher-value denominations such as the 1000 Pakistani Rupee note and the 5000 Pakistani Rupee note, as well as smaller denominations across the full range. If you have returned from Pakistan with a mixture of notes, we can handle them all in a single exchange.

Old Series & Damaged Notes

Unlike most high street exchanges, we also buy older withdrawn Pakistani Rupee banknotes and notes that have suffered some wear or damage. As long as a note is at least 50% intact, we will make you an offer, though the rate applied will be slightly lower than for current series notes. Pakistani Rupees are not commonly accepted by UK banks, so if you have older notes sitting in a drawer, sending them to us is one of the most straightforward ways to recover their value. If you also have other South Asian currencies to exchange, we handle Indian Rupees and Nepalese Rupees as well.

Pakistani Rupee Coins

We accept Pakistani Rupee coins across a range of denominations. Coins are exchanged at a slightly lower rate than banknotes due to the additional handling costs involved, but unlike most bureaux de change, we do not turn them away. If you have a mixture of coins and notes left over from your travels, simply include them together when you send your currency in.

Pakistani Rupee Exchange FAQ

Do you accept all denominations of Pakistani Rupee banknotes?

Yes, we accept all denominations from the smaller notes such as the 10 PKR and 20 PKR notes right up to the higher-value 5000 PKR note. You do not need to sort your notes by denomination before sending them — simply box them up and post them to us, and we will assess the full bundle.

Can I exchange old or withdrawn Pakistani Rupee banknotes?

Yes, we do accept older withdrawn Pakistani Rupee notes, though the rate will be slightly lower than for current series banknotes. The key condition is that a note must be at least 50% intact to qualify for exchange. Most UK banks and post offices will not accept old Pakistani Rupees, so sending them to us is often the best option available.

Will you exchange Pakistani Rupee coins as well as banknotes?

Yes, we accept Pakistani Rupee coins alongside banknotes. The exchange rate for coins is slightly lower than for notes due to the additional handling involved, but we do not refuse them the way many high street exchanges do. Just include your coins with your banknotes when you send your currency in.

How do I send my Pakistani Rupees to you, and when will I be paid?

Simply pack your Pakistani Rupees securely and post them to us at your own arrangement — many customers travelling back from Pakistan find it convenient to send their leftover currency shortly after returning home. Once we receive your notes and coins, we will verify them and process payment within 5 working days via bank transfer or PayPal. If you are not happy with our offer, we will return your currency free of charge.

Can I exchange Pakistani Rupees if the notes are torn or damaged?

Yes, provided the note is at least 50% intact, we will make you an offer. We apply a slightly reduced rate for damaged notes compared to clean, undamaged currency, but we will not reject them outright as many other exchanges would. If you are unsure whether a particular note qualifies, feel free to contact us before sending.
