The GLOBAL Leader in Foreign Currency FUNDRAISING
Foreign currency fundraising is simple. It’s the act of collecting donations for social causes using Any Currency in Any Amount. Think of it like a penny drive, toy drive, or even a food drive… you’re asking people to donate something that has value, just maybe not to them.
Foreign currency fundraising is used by charities around the world, from the U.K. and Europe to Australia and New Zealand.
In fact, almost every charity in the U.K. utilizes some form of foreign currency fundraising.
The programs you may be most familiar with operate in airports and on airlines around the globe.
Further, foreign currency fundraising is so effective there are charities in Ireland and New Zealand that are funded exclusively by the collection of leftover foreign currency.
Our goal is to open this up to every charity, anywhere in the world!
Comprehensive Cash management solutions
While Global Coin solutions was original founded in pursuit of helping charities, our scope has grown. We have expanded our service offerings to include cash processing and deposit for businesses around the world. Our current clientele includes private organizations such as CIT's (cash in transit), F/X companies, transit authorities, and more.
Additionally, GCS has begun working directly with governments, mints, and banks around the world to increase global financial sustainability.

Logistics, freight, and everything in between
Cash is our business, coins and bills. Our business doesn't stop with processing - we are experts in the movement, security, and regulation surrounding the global currency space.
As a highly regulated commodity, there are few carriers and logistics partners that are familiar and comfortable enough to work with currency. In our cumulative 20 years of experience, we've built a global network of seasoned professionals who understand and facilitate the movement of money around the world.

HEAR FROM ORGANIZATIONS WE’VE HELPED
Pocket Change is Japan's largest value exchange kiosk service. With 100 locations around the country and a presence in every major airport, Pocket Change allows users to exchange foreign currency (cash and coins) for e-money, gift cards, and other forms of digital value. As a result of these collections, the company accumulates hundreds of thousands of dollars across a variety of currencies. Pocket Change first contacted GCS in 2020 to assist in the movement, processing, and deposit of USD and EUR coinage. Since then, our relationship has grown substantially, with GCS and Scott's team handling nearly all of our foreign currency needs – a number which spans 30+ currencies, across millions of dollars. "Money, in all its forms, is a sensitive commodity. Finding reliable partners had historically been incredibly challenging for us. From day 1, GCS distinguished themselves from the competition as professional, transparent, and communicative – providing thorough references, consistent updates, and consummate professionalism throughout our shipments. Our partnership has allowed us to increase our liquidity through more efficient and frequent shipments."

In Poland, the Narodowy Bank Polski (Polish Central Bank) runs a coin recycling / recirculation program in their branches, asking the public to return their loose change. This can be exchanged for bank notes on the spot or the funds can be directly deposited into the individual’s bank account. NBP created this program as they were finding that coin was not being recirculated. There is no charge or fee to the user. As a result of this program, roughly 42kgs of mixed foreign coin from other countries was inadvertently deposited through the coin machines. NBP reached out to Global Coin Solutions in an effort to put the foreign coin to good use since it had no value sitting in a vault in Poland. Global Coin Solutions was able to help with this. The coins were collected, sorted, repatriated, and funds were then paid to a Polish charity, Towarzystwo Nasz Dom. “Thank you for your help. It let us make good use of ‘worthless’ foreign coins with benefits for kids in orphanage”.

Currency for Kids is an innovative and unique method of raising much needed funds for children, youth and their families who live in vulnerable situations. This program would never have become a reality without the support and encouragement of Global Coin Solutions. Global Coin Solutions is an incredible corporate partner who truly works with charitable organizations to assist with the development and growth of low investment and high yield fund raising programs.

Calgary Transit had been accumulating foreign coin at their coin processing centre for roughly 10 years. As with most cash handling organizations, they don’t want to dispose of cash. Even though solutions for foreign coin aren’t readily available, the hope is that one day a solution will be found. Over those 10+ years, Calgary Transit had accumulated approximately 1,300kgs (2,860lbs) of mixed foreign coin. We worked directly with the Calgary Transit cash processing team, advising them on how to package the coin for shipment and making arrangements with Air Canada Cargo to move the packaged coin from Calgary, Alberta to our office in Toronto, Ontario … a journey of 2,700kms. Once we received the shipment, we broke it into smaller batches for sorting and over the course of a few months, turned those “worthless” foreign coins into 1,000.00’s of dollars that Calgary Transit could recognize and offset their losses. “You really made it very easy for us.”
