From June 16, 2001 to January 6, 2002, Free Record Shop accepted all currencies from the "euro countries" as means of payment. This promotion, "Do the Euro Exchange at Free Record Shop", gave consumers the opportunity to buy music with their foreign money before it lost its status as legal tender. The 'Coins for Care' foundation and the 'Eurocollecte' foundation, which started collecting foreign coins for all more than one hundred Dutch charities from September 1, 2001, were 'furious and disappointed' about the Free Record Shops euro exchange campaign.

Vanaf 16 juni 2001 tot en met 6 januari 2002 accepteerde Free Record Shop alle valuta uit de ‘eurolanden’ als betaalmiddel. Deze actie, ‘Doe de Eurowissel bij Free Record Shop', bood consumenten de gelegenheid met hun buitenlandse geld muziek te kopen, voordat dat haar status als wettig betaalmiddel verloor.
De stichting 'Coins for Care' en de stichting 'Eurocollecte', die samen vanaf 1 september 2001 buitenlandse muntjes gingen inzamelen voor alle ruim honderd Nederlandse liefdadigheidsinstellingen waren 'woedend en teleurgesteld' over Free Record Shops eurowisselactie.
