McDonald’s has announced that from 2 to 5 p.m. on Thursday, it is offering a promotion at participating locations where people can exchange foreign money for items on the new Worldwide Favorites menu.

Be sure to call your local McDonald’s to make sure it is participating in the promotion before sifting through drawers or couch cushions to find any extra foreign money.
