Corner of Carlos Pellegrini and Cordoba right next door to La Madelein. (Pellegrini 787).
Tourist Trap Shop and Long Distance Travel Bus Company called Turismo Dalman has been a good enough rate lately for a bunch of us.
Update. The Store and the Sign are being renovated. Just walk in and ask for Cambio.
Call them:
5. 031.8008 and ask for "Cambio", tell them El Tejano Loco sent you and let's us know what the rate is.
Thanks,
TL.
Across the street from Excedra.

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!

Jackson, Why is the Text Cleanup changing everything in the quotes to lower case, even the names?

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

'Small denomination currency and particularly coins are sometimes difficult to come by in Argentina, especially in Buenos Aires. The problem has developed to a stage in which some shop owners will not sell items if the transaction involves giving the purchaser change in coins. It has also been exacerbated by ATMs, which tend to give out only 100 peso notes, and by bus companies, some of which will take only coins in payment and sell these at a 5–10% markup on the black market rather than depositing them at banks.[8] This situation has improved in the years following the Argentine economic crisis (1999–2002). Nowadays nearly all bus lines have a Sube (Sistema Único de Boleto Electrónico) smartcard reader, allowing passengers to pay electronically without coins.[9]'
Given that the last two sentences only seem to refer to coin hoarding by bus companies and not by others, I guess hoarding must still (or again) be taking place. Or maybe there is some valuable metal in the coins?
