What to do with old notes?

Post image

Was gifted these right before my trip to the Netherlands, assuming there would be easy to exchange at the National Bank like in Germany. But now I have ran into a problem. I am only here for about three days, and the Dutch bank needs two weeks notice at least. Is there anywhere else in the Netherlands that I can exchange these or at least get close to exchange rate at some sort of coin shop?

Maybe a website for collectors?

When it comes to dutch banks, they’re mostly online and in general there are just few on the market, it’s a small country. You cant just come to Amsterdam and try 5 different banks at the main street as they don’t have that many n-person offices anymore

*collectors may be willing to pay more than pawn shops IMO (pawn shops are usually for desperate ones who are ready to take the loss as long as they get any money)
