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.

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 never encountered any exchange anywhere in the world that
accepts coins from other country.
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.
