THE new year will see 12 countries in the European Union swap their national currency for the euro.

In a bid to put all that old money to good use Mr Nigel Guard, St Albans diocesan stewardship development officer, is asking residents to deliver any left-over foreign currency to their parish council so that it can be put to good use by the church.

For more information, contact Mr Guard on 01727 854532.
