Hello,
I'm from Portugal and I will go next Orlando Fun Show on 05 of January.
Normaly I get US coins in Portugal from colections and I want to take them to US and change to Cash beacaue it is dificult to spend all.
Is there any place in Orlando were I can do that without fees? Or, is there anyone interested to change them for me? I have coins from 5 cents to dollar.

thanks

You could just spend the US money. I mean when you go out to eat, store, gas exc use the US coins untill they are gone.

Hello,
i lnow that, but the problem is that the people from the store, gas or restaurante don't like to receive 100 dollares in 5 cents coins and make to me a bad face!

Contact a dealer you plan to deal with. Most will help if it means a sale.

coinstar machine at grocery stores can change out coins for cash for a fee. You also might try a bank or two when you get into town.

Some banks have coin counting machines that are free for account holders. Try locating a friend in the Orlando area who has an account at a bank with free coin counter and have them run the coins for you. The machine spits out a receipt that the teller will exchange for paper money.

What kinds of coins will you be looking for at FUN?

Oh, welcome to the forum!

Take to any bank. However, many will charge you a small fee for that transaction.
As already noted you could just spend them while here. Not sure how many of what you have but if your going to be here for a few days, you could just spend a little at a time in stores, restaurants, etc.
Many restaurants appreciate change.
At the coin show you could just ask dealers if they would buy them all for face value. Or use them to buy what you want at the show.
