Exchanging Currency

[Tres3]

From Reuters.

Argentina will continue paying bondholders on the same terms, its economy minister told state news agency Telam on Saturday, after losing an appeal in its legal battle with creditors who rejected past restructurings of the country's defaulted debt.

The 2nd USA Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a judge's order on Friday requiring Argentina pay $1.33 billion to hedge funds still fighting the country over its record sovereign debt default more than a decade ago.

"We're going to keep paying as we have until now, on the same terms," Economy Minister Hernan Lorenzino told Telam, calling the court ruling "an attempt to bring the country back to 2001.

The appeals court held off enacting its decision while the USA Supreme Court weighs whether to take up the case, bringing short-term relief to investors concerned about another default.

The 93 percent of bondholders who renegotiated debts after Argentina's $100 billion default, accepting less than 30 cents on the dollar, worry the refusal to pay holdouts in the face of court orders could freeze payment on restructured bonds as well.

Dissident bondholders led by Aurelius Capital Management and NML Capital Ltd, a unit of Paul Singer's Elliott Management Corp, are demanding payment in full. They have argued that Argentina can't deny them their due while paying investors who agreed to restructurings in 2005 and 2010.

The appellate court handed Argentina its hat, and ordered the country to pay its defaulted bonds. Argentina says that they will appeal to the Supreme Court, but I will be surprised if the Supreme Court hears the case. If the Supreme Court denies certiorari, it will be game over for Argentina. It will be interesting to watch the effect on the blue dollar exchange rate.

If it's gone there are probably 10 more that have taken it's place.

Exchanging money ANYWHERE can be risky down here. Even inside of a Bank. There are no guarantees but if you do it during the day when there are a lot of people around you then I think your chances of survival are in your favor.

The Boys that live down here full time exchange Dollars every day.

Bring a friend if you want.

There are so many businesses exchanging cash on the streets that the only thing you need to do is find the best rate.

I have been using the "Secret Asian" girl because I'm lazy but there are many more. The guy next to "La Mad" during the day is very fair and his store is on one of the busiest corners in BA. Safe!

Too risky, as your operations are visible from the outside. They are too many people and they are organized. They can just text each other and everyone knows that a guy is the carry dollars guy. Best is to have a contact and meet in a bar, coffee shop, etc.

At least we figured out that the beer goes in the fridge.

NO lager goes in the fridge...beer comes from a barrel. We have been holding your hands since 1776 don't worry we won't stop guiding you.

We thought after 4th July 1776 you as a nation could set your own trends. Obviously we were wrong. Forever in our shadow.

We picked it up from seeing pictures of Brits on vacation in Spain.

Got 8.90 today, changing USD2 k.

Oddly, the web-sites clickable on the front page here were showing an unusually diverse range between 8.85 and 9.07.

What is the highest-value peso bill? Wikipedia says $100 but I wondered whether that was now out-of-date what with the inflation..

Also known as Rocha's or Violetas. Though I'm sure if you wore Bermuda shorts, a Hawaiian shirt, and Birkenstocks with socks you could find somebody on Lavalle that would sell you some 500 or 1000 pesos notes.
