Exchanging Currency

[QUOTE=Sunshine69;436025]Esten,

Thank you for the info. It is very helpful. I will of course be respectful and discrete. That's a great idea on reserving 2 guests in the room to create that argument...yes I'll be checking all the boliches out for sure. I was planning on walking to most of the ones in recoleta, but Tijuana said many are closed or changed locations, and I need to figure out how to get the addresses of all of them. Any thoughts? Also, can you recommend a good cambio near Ayres de Recoleta Plaza that will give the good exchange rate? Your help is very much appreciated![/QUOTE]Sunshine69.

Search the Exchanging Currency thread for the coin store on Junin. It is not the place for the best rate but I think convenience will trump the pesos difference. Actually if you explore the site all the information you ask for (maps and everything) is here. You probably should get this conversation out of the Madahos thread.

Any problems exchanging new style 100's? My credit union just handed me a bunch.

I would consider going to the bank and switching them. If you can't and nobody will accept them I will change them for 95% of face value and hold them until they become accepted. No I'm not being a wise ass.

Regarding the blue rate...

I work with Russian tourism in BA, if you need exchange, I go to your hotel or your apartment.

Find me in argentinavoyage dot com. Today I payed 9.4.

Bye.

German.

I got 9.6 on U$S 200 today.

So we're almost back up to the high of 9.80 of May this year.

Will we hit 10 soon? Or will the government find another way to pull it back, albeit temporarily?

I reckon it's a psychological barrier that they're not keen on seeing broken.

The Cops and Robbers were all over Florida and Lavalle yesterday shutting down the Blue Babies.

Asked everyone nicely to hold-off on exchanging dollars until after the election and to keep it at 10 max.

The Blues Promised that nobody will exchange cash on Thursday or Friday.

Blue Babies say that they can't control the demand for Benjamins and that they won't keep it at 10 to 1 .

Expect it to hit 11 plus by the end of the year!

That's an extra Hump at your Favorite Butt-Hutt for sure!

Have Fun,

TL.

This is what I get for assuming TL's posts will be unintelligible pabulum and not reading them. I put pussy before changing dollars and by the time I got to my Koreana, she was closed. Every fucking body was closed, but all the normal guys said they would be open tomorrow.

Greetings Everyone,

Today at approximately 4 pm a friend of mine exchanged $1,000 USD for pesos.

Just before he left to exchange his cash, the popular local exchange rate websites were reporting the following Blue Dollar exchange rates:

I received 9.55 for 500 on November 7 at the place I used last year that gave good rates. November 8, I received 9.65 for $500 at a place in the Microcenter. Today's spot might not be tomorrow's.

I reckon it's a psychological barrier that they're not keen on seeing broken.[/QUOTE]Not sure how they've done it, but it looks like they're managing to keep it under that psychological barrier! (Everybody knows to ignore Walter Mitty with his stories of 10.2 right?) I got 9.90 on 24th Oct, but forgot to post about it after seeing the thread soiled. I heard of a friend of a friend who got 10.05 the day before, but that was very short lived.

On Friday 8th Nov I went to 'Western Union' on Lavalle and was offered 9.60 and was so pissed off that I just walked out! I asked a couple of randoms on Florida but couldn't better it until I ended up back at the first place I ever used on the 100 block of Florida. A cell phone accessories shop in a galería where they offered 9.65 and eventually went to 9.70 for USD500.

I got 9.8 pesos to the dollar today for a $500 transaction at the cuerva in Galaria Colon, on Florida between Corrientes and Sarmiento. Last week they paid 9.6 for the same dollar amount. Send me a message if you need the full address.
