Stamps & coins

680x150

Do you have an old stamp collection lurking in the loft or a stash of foreign coins at the back of a drawer? Used stamps, coins, banknotes and other collectables such as medals and badges can be donated to any Oxfam shop.

Oxfam has around 50 specialist stamp departments, run by experienced and knowledgeable volunteers. Albums and collections are particularly welcome, but we accept all used stamps (foreign or UK). For further information, please email: jawhitaker@oxfam.org.uk. All stamps are carefully valued and priced. You can find shops that sell stamps using our Shop finder or browse our online range.

More information on coins
Some of our specialist stamp departments also sort and sell coins. Others save donations of currency for collection by CoinCo International, who count every coin and note received and reimburse Oxfam according to the current exchange rate. Even obsolete currencies such as those replaced by the Euro are accepted and of some value.
