A few banks are getting creative and efficient in changing bills into coins. Banks are beginning to realize that one in two bank customers only enter the bank to get coins to take buses. Banco Frances has installed in some of their branches machines that take up to AR$10 bills and give you coins. Also, the Central Bank has opened two windows behind the ticketing booths at the Retiro Station to dispense all day long up to AR$20 in coins.
Of course President Cristina told everyone that by March 31, 2009 all buses must install electronic ticketing. As of today only a small percentage of bus companies of Buenos Aires have installed the equipment for electronic ticketing.

Posts: 995Look, just go into any bank and present 200 in pesos, they will always give change in 10's and 20'. Never asked me for ID. They also give coins, up to 20 pesos. I beleive it is a law they have to provide change to all.

Posts: 191How About 1000AR Bills?
Supermarkets to break 100? Everytime I try that it takes five or ten minutes for the cashier to find the attendant who has the change.
At the current rate of inflation, we'll be using 1000 pesos notes pretty soon!

If you play the stupid tourist part up it works even better.

Posts: 247Changing a single $100 note.
I use the subte every day and always use $100 notes to buy a 10 journey ticket ($11) thus getting 89 in change. Not a way to change a big chunk, but they (almost) always have change and I suppose you could get away with buying a single or 2 journey ticket for 1.10 or 2.20 pesos to get change. Its the best way to get around the city too.

Posts: 10Breaking 100AR bills
I did a search but came up with nothing.
I have way too many 100AR bills. And not enough small bills. And no one seems to want to accept them.
Can someone tell me where I can break these? The lady at the bank gave me a look as if I just backhanded one of her children when I asked her to break them.
I'm living in San Telmo BTW.
Thanks!
