Where to sell old foreign coins & paper money

Can anyone recommend an honest place to see about selling foreign coins and paper money?

Thanks in advance.

Coins are usually not exchangeable to US currency.
Paper money is.

I usually buy/sell my Euros at the airport.

I don't know if they are good or bad, but they have been around a long time.

These are old foreign coins that I found while cleaning out my in laws house. We were looking to see if they are worth anything.

I know that with coins you should not "clean" them. They are more valuable with their patina. I would give the people above a call and even if they don't deal with those coins in particular they might be able to point you in the right direction.

I would type in the amount, country, and year into google, perhaps there is a foreign currency calculator. I know there are US ones on line and have used them before.

Gotcha.
Try Coin Galleries of Oyster Bay as suggested.
DH sold some old coins there that he had lying around.

I still have some old German coins that have long since been replaced by Euros.
Sentimental value.
I should mount them in a picture frame.
