Got 4. 50 on Lavalle near Florida
[QUOTE=Miami Bob; 420043]I am arriving Tuesday. At the national bank in the airport, how many pesos per us$ should I expect?
What would be a reasonable black market rate in a casa de cambio-not in a back alleyway in a bad part of town[/QUOTE]No passport required!
Yes, it is hidden in a "Galeria" but it's legit!
Behind the Green Door, I mean behind the glass!
4. 50 to 1 is a fucking bargain Dude!
On Lavalle and almost Florida!
5 blocks from "The Mansion!"

On nov 23 banco naccional at airport gave me 4. 24pesos, but a friend changed us$$ for 4. 80
I ended up only changing us$150 at the bank to have some cash. A friend from miami's son changed my other money at 4. 80 pesos for the us$. The new government rules are creating a black market. The telephone place in the airport where I purchased some time for my personel sim card gave 4. 25 pesos-better than the national bank. This is a significant change from the past.
This gentleman is not a casa de cambio-just an example of the "street rates"
Speak with me privately. I am a friend of his family and have had asado with him and his childern.
Paying Chicas in US Dollars
I've normally paid chicas in pesos, although a few times I used dollars at Gysell's at more-or-less the standard exchange rate.
But these days are chicas happy to take US dollars at a real favorable exchange rate? If dollars are harder to obtain and everyone expects the peso to fall I'd think that it might be smart to pay chicas in US dollars.
Are any of you guys paying chicas in US dollars, and, if so, what rates are they giving you?
Thanks, Bob
$4. 90 today in Montevideo
That's why I'm posting at 10 pm. Monte is kinda dead.
Also $4. 90 in Asuncion last week. Lotta ARG leaving the country, now in weak hands.
Argentine Currency is Not Convertible
Argentina's government has enacted capital controls to stop capital flight.
Good luck with that one. The result is that people who want to move money out of the country (generally into dollars) will pay a premium to transact an exchange which cannot otherwise be made.
