Got some leftover foreign coins or notes from a past trip? Accor Live Limitless (ALL) is hosting a pop-up event in Auckland on November 21 and 22, giving you a unique chance to donate that spare currency to the charity Cure Kids. In return for your donation, you get an entry into a prize draw worth an incredible $50,000.
A Creative Solution for Leftover Travel Money
Many travelers return home with a small amount of foreign cash that ends up forgotten in a drawer. A recent study by ALL found that New Zealanders are holding onto an estimated $299 million in unused foreign currency. This is a massive amount of money that could be put to good use.
Instead of letting it collect dust, Accor’s “World’s Best Exchange Rate” initiative provides a simple and impactful way to clear out that clutter. This pop-up event turns your spare change into vital funding for a respected local charity. It’s a brilliant idea that connects the travel industry with community support.
How to Participate and What you can Win
Getting involved is incredibly easy. Simply bring your leftover foreign coins and bills to the pop-up location. The ALL team will be there to collect the donations and ensure every cent goes to a good cause.
To enter the prize draw, you just need to sign up for the ALL loyalty program, which is completely free. This simple step gives you a shot at winning some amazing travel experiences.

Supporting a Worthy Cause: The Role of Cure Kids
All proceeds from the event will go directly to Cure Kids. This well-known New Zealand charity is dedicated to funding research into serious health conditions that affect children. Their work covers a wide range of issues, from genetic disorders to heart diseases and cancer.
By donating your spare currency, you are directly helping to improve the health and well-being of children across the country. The funds support groundbreaking medical research and provide essential services for families navigating difficult health challenges. This partnership ensures your small contribution becomes part of a much larger story of hope and healing.
More than Just a Hotel Loyalty Program
This initiative also highlights the community-focused side of the Accor Live Limitless program. While known for its hotel benefits, ALL is also committed to creating positive experiences and giving back. The pop-up event is a perfect example of this philosophy in action.
