A FEW weeks ago you published my letter asking people to send their old European currency to the Independent Living Centre as it expires on January 1 2002.

We are grateful for the several kilograms of notes and coins we have received and have decided to extend our appeal for surplus currency from holidays anywhere in the world. All coins and notes will be very acceptable.

We have set up collecting points in various areas so your readers can phone the centre to find their nearest one.
