Swiss Francs Question

Does anyone know of a place where I can exchange a small number of Swiss francs for U.S. currency? I have around 14 or so of them. My local banks have large minimum limits on the amount of foreign currency you need to bring in to complete such a transaction.

    Coins can be tough to exchange - most exchange places do not accept coins. If you have coins try the Weekly BST list here on this board, I'm sure there are several here that would give you face value (+/-) for your coins.

    Paper currency can be tougher to exchange, especially if you have had these bills for several years. European countries seemed to change the design of their paper currency every few years and you cannot exchange "old" designs at most exchange outlets, even in Europe. Usually, "old" design currency must be exchanged at the origin countries central bank. Just before the introduction of the Euro I was in Europe for several weeks and I tried to exchange currency from several countries that I had returned from Europe with over about a 10 year period and was unable to exchange any of it at any exchange house in the cities I visited.
