Having a retail shop means we do not have the time or resources to offer all our stock online, however we do sell to many trade people who do sell online.

As well as running our retail shop, we were regular exhibitors at specialist fairs around the country over the last 30 years, and can be found most months at the Birmingham Coin and Banknote Show at the Motor Cycle Museum by the NEC. If you would like details of any of the shows mentioned please ask. We also can occasionally be found at fairs in London and York, and have attended numerous international fairs.

today. Marie, Diocesan Manager, CAFOD Nottingham

Dear Mr Ray

One of our volunteers has recently donated over £300 to our charity, raised by the sale of foreign currency.  He has told us that you gave him a very good price for the bank notes and we are very grateful to you for your help.  The money donated is used for the direct benefit of our patients and their families being cared for in our hospice. Thank you so much. Maureen T.

Coins...

Just a quick note to say thanks for the Mansfield token, I have not seen one before, so it was good to add it to my collection. G.O.

Hi Mark, many thanks for your quick response to my e-mail. Your offer sounds very fair, so I would like to accept. C.M.

Hi Mark, Was really pleased with the £10 Leeds note I had from you a few weeks back. A really great addition to my collection! Thank you! J.B.

Hi, Just a note to say that the banknotes arrived safely this morning. I have just been through them and am very happy. A.B. Bristol,

The Shop...

...At the end of May, I did a talk on Applegath & Cowper to the Nottingham branch of the IBNS. I popped into Mark Ray’s unique shop – full of interesting material, a mecca for any visitor to Nottingham – a detour to Nottingham would also be worthwhile... Pam West, britishnotes.co.uk, website blog.
