I did a quick search for 'currency' but wasn't able to find anything relevant. After spending some time in Northern Ireland, I was left with about £10 in coin.

Is there anywhere in Dublin where I can either exchange it for €€€ or spend it? The currency exchange place I went into said they couldn't accept coin.

Buy 3 pints of Guinness - if you're lucky.

Surely walk into any shop and ask them to give you a £10 note in return for the coins and then exchange that. Or if it's not quite £10 then ask for £5 note and give the balance to a charity.

Keep it. You'll be in the U.K. / N.I. again sometime surely?

It's handy beer money!

The rate beer prices are going in the UK , he will need more than a tenner for a pint pretty soon.

Just remember that in N.I. they have their own notes - totally different to English ones.
It can be difficult sometimes to exchange N.I. notes outside of the province.

Did i miss something (and I probably did)???..but isn't OP in N.I. with 10 N.I. pounds worth of coins? If that is the case then doesn't OP simply walk into a shop and ask for a 10 pound N.I. note for their coins and then take that note to aforementioned exchange counter?

There may be a fee to change it from a N.I. note to an English one.
Plus the local shopkeepers sometimes don't like it if you ask for an Englaish note instead of a N.I. one. Not always, but occasionally.
