Exchanging Currency

[QUOTE=Gikubik;436936]So like me. You have a PM. Good luck in the Cueva!

Xavi.[/QUOTE]Thanks. Actually I am getting pesos from the people who is renting me the apartment I'm staying in. So in principle no need to go to any cueva.

Now, a non Argentina cannot buy airfare, hotel accommodations and other tourist services with pesos. Does this mean that the women referred to in this forum are going to ask to be paid in dollars or other foreign currency? How about taxicabs, groceries, butchers and other shops?

[/QUOTE]A Paraguayan I was meeting with in November asked to be paid in dollars because she was headed home for the holidays and the Argentinian peso is worthless in Paraguay.

The cuerva in Galaria Colon on Florida paid 9 pesos / dollar on Tuesday, down from 9.8 for my previous two exchanges. I only changed $100 on Tuesday and I probably would have received a couple tenths of a peso more for my usual $500 transaction.

Greetings Everyone,

I seems that the Argentine bargain hunters taking advantage of the cheap dollar has bolstered the demand and thus restored some of the previous week's rates.

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:

[url=http://www.ambito.com/economia/mercados/monedas/dolar/]Ambito.com[/url] "Informal Venta" = [B][size=+1]9.69[/size][/B]

[url=http://www.dolaraldia.com/]DolarAlDia.com[/url] "Dólar Blue Informado" = [B][size=+1]9.75[/size][/B]

----------------------------------------------------------

Average Published Rate = [B][size=+1]9.732[/size][/B]

Rate Actually Received = [B][size=+1]9.45[/size][/B]

Discount from Average Rate = [B][size=+1]-2.89%[/size][/B] (x .9710)

You're welcome.

Is there an approved (by Jackson and the team) Exchange near my hotel at Juncal & Arroyo in Retiro?

Many Thanks,

Turns out I've bought more pesos than what I think I am finally going to spend. Any idea on how I can change them back into euros (preferably) or dollars at a reasonable rate?

[QUOTE=OutforFlesh;436987]Turns out I've bought more pesos than what I think I am finally going to spend. Any idea on how I can change them back into euros (preferably) or dollars at a reasonable rate?[/QUOTE]Approx how many?

[QUOTE=DavieW;436991]Approx how many?[/QUOTE]Can't say exactly until Sunday, but at the current rate let's say AR $4000 or so.

[QUOTE=OutforFlesh;436992]Can't say exactly until Sunday, but at the current rate let's say AR $4000 or so.[/QUOTE]I'll give you USD400 for ARS4000 if you can meet me in Microcentro.

Girls, and others, still accept pesos.

Like most things here, the rules are selectively enforced.

I recently got some 20's as part of an exchange. If anyone has extra US 50's or 100's before they leave BA, or if you know you will have dollars left over I would like to swap out. Twenties work well in bars and restaurants here, which is an activity that I seldom do.

Thanks.
