Arg pesos are not an internationally trade-able currency. You'd have trouble finding them even in neighbouring countries.

Posts: 3NYC currency exchange?
Is there any point in exchanging currency before making the trip? I would think there would be competitive rates in NYC but I am still doing research. Never been before. Arriving in a few weeks just for a few days. Then a side trip for a few days. Then BA for one more night. Apologies if this is a dumb question.

After you get through baggage claim, walk through the doors, you will see different stands on both sides, turn right at the end of the wall, sharp. There should be a bank with ATMs.
Unless it has changed in five years.

Posts: 746Changing Money at a Bank (Didn't Work for Me) - 13.8 for $600 at Cerviño y Ortiz
Maybe I haven't been reading messages here carefully enough, but when I needed some pesos today I thought I'd go to a bank which is a lot closer to me than any cueva that I am aware of. I went to the Superville on Las Herras and near Pueyrredón. As soon as I got inside I was faced with a kiosk asking me (I think) for an account number and what I wanted to do - deposit, withdrawal, pay a bill, etc.. Having no account number, of course, I went to the desk of the cutest employee I saw and asked her if she spoke English. Her English wasn't great but way better than my Spanish. She asked me if I wanted to change dollars into pesos or the other way around and then asked me to wait while she consulted another employee. When she came back she said that no I could not do a currency exchange. I think she said something like because I did not have a claim. I am guessing she meant because I did not have an account.
So I went to the cueva at Cerviño y Ortiz and got a rate of 13.8 (for $600).
Bob.

Posts: 1657Cash is still king.
If you have dollars on hand and have an exchange house with good rates near by, I would take advantage of those 30 centavos while you can. They won't last. But if you have to use an ATM, there really isn't much of a difference. And that difference keeps getting smaller every day. Not the opposite. Your only real benefit now is saving on bank ATM and FX fees. Just like in any other country. Cash is still king, but the Dollar just isn't what it used to be with no real blue rate.
Macri has staked his entire presidency on reining in inflation and Sturzenegger is already looking past the unification and adopting a free float foreign exchange policy and an inflation targeting monetary policy. Interesting to say the least.
After reading Sturzenegger' proposed changes to Argentinas fx and monetary policy. I know a " blue" rate would never work. It's a non starter. They're mutually exclusive. Not to say a completely black market dollar won't exist. " Criminals " always need to " evade taxes ". We will see. Time will tell.

If you live here then you have to decide if bringing the money in is worth the higher rate you would get from a cueva once you add in the bank fees if you have them.
