You can bring in as much cash as you can carry, but if it's USD10, 000 or more you have to declare it and be prepared to prove its provenance.[/QUOTE]
For Argentina, there is no rule requiring proving provenance of the cash assets you wish to declare and bring in. All that is required is your declaration form OM 2087. Same for the half dozen euro coutries I've declared in.
The sole criteria for bringing in cash is noted on AFIP English site: [url]http://www.afip.gob.ar/english/touristInformation.asp[/url]
Under the section "Negotiable Instruments you may bring into or take out of the country". There are no regs listed for proving your own funds. Maybe there are some drug / money laundering statues that allow for demanding provenance but if so never seen it listed or had it asked.
Aug 2012. Had no issue entering Argentina with declared cash well in excess of $10k+ USD. Other than the somewhat amused shock and awe from the officials that I was actually declaring. The only questions I was asked after submitting my declaration form was what I was going to be spending this money on while in Argentina. I told them cash rental apartment and chicas at boliches. They just laughed and wanted to know which boliches I liked best.

Admittedly they weren't very thorough and were easily satisfied with some un-translated paperwork referring to a property sale.

The guy said "que?" And I said "beer and hookers" in English. When I picked up the money, no problems at all and nobody has ever called me since and I've never had to stand at the window waiting while the person behind the glass called somebody about my money.

Holiday bump?
Is this fast rise going to continue or is it a holiday bump from dollar demand rising due to vacationers needing dollars to take to Uruguay? I seem to remember one like this in July as well during winter vacations.

Even the official rate is up to 4. 9 which is pushing up what we can get on the street.

Got 6. 7 today at the place on Arenales, changing $500. The $500 got me 100 more Pesos than yesterday. Almost enough for a good Bife de Ojo!
-
The traders were paying 7. 02 today so the arbolitos should be paying 6. 7 or 6. 8. No, I didn't do any exchange today at that rate!
Added - the 27th of February should be interesting. Keep you eyes open on that day!

Got 6. 7 today on Lavalle without even haggeling, it was only $1000. 00 u$d but the 6. 7 was nice. Must be selling for 7?
Don't know.
The dude on the street makes a commission so they must be paying more than 6. 7 , but how much more?
5s. 10s and 20's paid 6. 5. 50s ad 100s paid 6. 7.
What's next? This guy was an unknown.

5s. 10s and 20's paid 6. 5.
TL[/QUOTE]Two friends of mine on holiday from the UK turned up at my place yesterday and wanted to change some dollars (500). I told them it was a shame they hadn't come on Friday, when I could have taken them to my usual place and got them 6. 95. I explained that the rate always drops a bit at the weekend and that it also wasn't great that they only had $20 bills.
So we just wandered down to Lavalle, where we got 6. 8, without even haggling.
(Remind me to never, EVER do business with TL!)

Wow! We could have saved $20. 00 dollars!
Thanks,
TL.
So your buddy made $10. 00 dollars, BFD!
