Changing swiss frank coinage at Frankfurt airport

Does anyone know if it is possible to exchange Swiss coinage at the Frankfurt airport into euros for our trip to Italy? We have about one hundred dollars worth and a decent layover in Frankfurt airport. Thanks.

Can't give a definitive answer, but it would be rare that a currency exchange would take coins, they usually only accept paper.

Agree to Paul. You can try to contact Reisebank and ask them.

I have never encountered any exchange anywhere in the world that accepts coins from other country. It's a hassle to handle.
The only thing I can think of is to make it to the Swiss border to change them. But you're not likely to do that, right? I have an entire pewter bowl with coinage from all over that I failed to get rid of. It's a bummer.

And if you can't exchange them (which I doubt you can), you'll be stuck lugging them around around Italy for the rest of the trip.

I have, many times. Although usually only coins over a certain value. And the Swiss franc have some valuable coins.

I think we will contact the bank mentioned here and ask. Yes, you are correct. I really do not want to carry them al over Italy.
