Posts: 1064Blue rate exchange place on Junin between Las Heras why Vincente Lopez? Anyone want to sell pesos?
HELLO ALL,
It's been over one year since I visited BA. I would like to use this place on Junin because it is a few blocks from where I will be staying. Is it still open and easy to do business there?
Where is it exactly: address or description of location. Is there anything special needed to change $500+ there. Eg passport or photocopy of passport?
I am arriving Dec 25. Where can I easily change money on either the 25 or 26 of December with a good rate? Would any members who know me like to change money for me at a competitive rate?
Bob inMiami.

Posts: 25Still 9.8 to $1
The cuerva in Galaria Colon on Florida gave me 9.8 pesos per dollar on a $500 exchange on Friday; the same rate as last week. Three French girls in front of me exchanged smaller amounts of Euros with no problems and I don't think they spoke a word of Spanish. They just passed their money to the cashier.

Posts: 416With the sacking of Moreno and the talk of his replacement being a hard-line Marxist and with a bunch of big bills coming up I was out in a panic yesterday to change a big wad of USD. Especially when I found my usual place on lock-down by AFIP!
I ended up back at the same place in the galeria at the very start of Florida and got 9.75. Was initially disappointed, but talked to my usual place later that day and was told that's all they could have offered me also, so I reckon that's as good as was available yesterday.

Posts: 38I have Not been to Buenos Aires for about 8 years!
When I was last in BA it was P5 to the £, and you could buy a beer in El Alamo for P5. You could get a girl out of Exhedra or NP for P200 for an hour.
Just so I can get a feel for how BA has changed, What is the going rate for the above now?
Also do banks accept Travellers checks, and when you cash them do the give you $ for $, or do they only exchange into Peso?

Posts: 193Currency PIGS
Went to a reliable Cueva on Lavalle and THREE times I was asked to leave because the PIGS were out to bust this joint.
Finally, after 2 one hour waiting periods I was able to get 9.75 for $500 USD.
Be careful guys.
Jackpot.

I got 9.8 pesos to the dollar today for a $500 transaction at the cuerva in Galaria Colon, on Florida between Corrientes and Sarmiento. Last week they paid 9.6 for the same dollar amount. Send me a message if you need the full address.

On Friday 8th Nov I went to 'Western Union' on Lavalle and was offered 9.60 and was so pissed off that I just walked out! I asked a couple of randoms on Florida but couldn't better it until I ended up back at the first place I ever used on the 100 block of Florida. A cell phone accessories shop in a galerķa where they offered 9.65 and eventually went to 9.70 for USD500.

Posts: 707I received 9.55 for 500 on November 7 at the place I used last year that gave good rates. November 8, I received 9.65 for $500 at a place in the Microcenter. Today's spot might not be tomorrow's.
