About Albanian Leke Exchange
The Albanian Lek (ALL) is the official currency of Albania, first introduced in 1926 and still in use today. We accept all denominations of Albanian Leke banknotes and coins, including older series and damaged notes.
Current Albanian Leke Banknotes
The Bank of Albania issues a range of colourful banknotes celebrating the country’s history and cultural figures. All current denominations are accepted, including the 2000 Lek note and the 5000 Lek note, along with everything in between. Unlike most high street exchanges, we buy Albanian Leke directly from UK customers without the need to visit a bureau in person.
Old Series & Damaged Notes
We also accept withdrawn Albanian Leke banknotes, including notes from the 1992 Lek Valutë series such as the 50 Lek Valutë and the 1000 Lek note issued in 1992, which most UK banks and bureaux de change will simply turn away. Damaged notes are welcome too, provided they are at least 50% intact — the rate will be slightly lower to reflect their condition, but you will still receive a fair return.
Albanian Leke Coins
We accept current Albanian Leke coins, including the 50 Leke coin and the 100 Leke coin, as well as smaller denominations such as the 20 Leke. Please note that qindarka coins are no longer in circulation and are not exchangeable. Coins attract a slightly lower rate than banknotes due to the additional handling involved.
