Can you donate the money to a charity? I usually try to spend almost all of my cash when abroad, being able to give what is left over to a charity would be something I would do.

@john_krehbiel Definitely. Once you handover the leftover currency, All you have to do is login to your WORLDKOINS account and select one from the charity organizations list for donation.

@john_krehbiel recently, some flights I've been on mention that you can donate your spare currency to a charity they support... guess thats one option too Although, it's a charity of their choice

I feel like a lot of people would only bother doing this if the collectors were at the airport. Not sure I'd go out of my way to exchange $25 dollars to a gift card if I had to make the effort to go to a collector.

Also, would airports be ok with people standing around ready to hound arrivals for their extra foreign currency? I'm sure there may be some obstacles there. For me, it's like those people on the street you do not want to speak to and put your head down to avoid. Especially after a flight haha

Hi Ben, Shops, coffee shops, restaurants and small business at the airports departure hall and duty free zones will be the collectors (they already work there at airports) and being collectors will help them make extra income (commissions): travelers will hand over their “local currency” to these collectors before leaving the country (these money will be foreign currency with much less value after flight). After flight, if travelers come home with foreign currency they can still hand over this money to a collector, this time the collector most likely is another traveler flying to that specific destination: traveler as a collector not ONLY save on exchange fees but he get paid a commission as well...

@aliouldzekeria would airport workers be allowed to do that though?

@bentossell Yes, why not? after all they are selling WORLDKOINS credit and being paid in their local currency.

@aliouldzekeria well I'm no pro in this field but someone who is working at a duty free shop in the airport is an employee of that company - they couldn't just be a collector and make money whilst on their shift. Worldkoins would have to have an agreement with the companies that operate in the airport.

Well this is a good idea. People could land in a country and ensure they get a better rate. P2P Forex?

@itsjv As a collector, traveler even can get extra commission when he collects his destination's currency before traveling: many other travelers have been there before and brought came with some leftover foreign currency, Now instead of having this money in jars and drawers they can make use of it with WORLDKOINS...and the person who is 'traveling soon' saves on the exchange fees and get the extra commission.
