Exchanging Currency

[Canardly]

Do they accept the new $100 bills?

[Daddy Rulz]

Heading to BA next month. Are $100 bills OK for exchanging into pesos?

I seem to remember 50's being preferred some years ago. Thanks.

100's and 50's are pretty equally accepted, don't bring anything smaller.

[Conchuir]

Thank you fellas!

This is simply incorrect information. Argentina is a dollarized economy and USD are coveted at the black market FX houses far more than Euros. In fact, Argentina is one of the cheapest places in the world to buy Euros; generally, buying Euros with pesos will save you typically about 4-5 basis points off the interbank rate.

Although Benjamin Franklin is the Sexiest Mother Fucker in the World the preferred denomination would be 500 Euro Notes.

I don't even count them anymore.

I just weigh them!

Unfortunately the 500's are being traced these days.

I'm pretty much certain that $100 bills are the preferred denomination. They need to physically transport all the money they change, and the less weight and volume they have to carry, the better.

If it breaks 10 and the Gov does nothing, I'm thinking 12 ish by Fall.

9.8 on 700 today. I'm looking for 10.5-11 in the next 3 weeks. Every January there is a bump due to demand for dollars for vacations. There is often a smaller one in June / July as well. Last year the peso went from 6.6-7.5 in the first three weeks of January, then slid back a little after February.

Mis dos centavos.

I have not been to BA since Sept 2012. The inflation is blowing my mind.

[DavieW]

Only 9.40 today at the same place!

Another last-minute panic exchange to pay some unexpected bills before traveling.

[DavieW]

Got 9.60 yesterday changing USD800.

Was in a bit of a rush and just went to the first place on Florida without doing any shopping around, so can't say if that was the best available.

[Spassmusssein]

-my words count as I already offered you to change.
Also recomended www.ambito.com to check the actual oficial and blue salad.

I am shure, you will be lucky with anybody else as well.

Merry Christmas.

Coming to BA next week. I will have US $ to buy pesos. Anyone I actually know interested in blue rate exchange?

[Thomaso276]

I recently got some 20's as part of an exchange. If anyone has extra US 50's or 100's before they leave BA, or if you know you will have dollars left over I would like to swap out. Twenties work well in bars and restaurants here, which is an activity that I seldom do.

Thanks.
