Unused foreign currency coins

Where can I give my foreign coins too? I seem to remember some charities collect them, but a search online hasn't found anywhere that are currently doing it.
I've just come back from Bulgaria. I've only got about £5 in change, but it might as well go somewhere useful than sit at the bottom of a drawer.

I work in a HR Dept and we're always doing charity things. I'm going to put two jars - one in our department block and one in the Gatehouse where the factory guys are most likely to call in - and collect in everyone's loose change until mid-September then take it all to a charity. Saves everyone else doing it and could raise a fair bit. Have found two big jars in the shed too.
Still need a suggestion for a charity to give it to...
I asked the same question on here a few years ago and got told that they won't do that.
Oh and there are normally charity collection boxes at the airports for foreign currency - not a lot of use to you now though
We do that in our department because it generally involves lots of overseas travel and hence lots of random monies.
Don't know who it goes too, but some nasty person stole it all a while back. What is the point, really?!
