 Enchanging Money in Buenos Aires May 22, 2008
It's always important to know how to exchange money in the different places. Here in Peru there are people who exchange the money at the streets, but in Buenos Aires you have to do it in a Exchange House, otherwise you could get fake money :(
Most of the stores and restaurants take US$ and Euros, they will even give you a better rate. But for the small expenses and taxis you will need Pesos. For example for the taxis. By the way if you go to a Exchange House, you will need to show your passport in order to exchange the money. By law they will ask you for the document you used to go into the country. If you are using a foreign currency in the stores or restaurants, you don't need to show your passport. You can pay with the foreign currency and get the change in Pesos. ;) Something that amazed me was the fact they have really old money and everyone accepts it.

With the benefit of the exchange rate, the rate of return is increased so that the initial money invested is obtained quickly. The beneficial exchange rate will be maintained for many years because the government needs to make sure there is a surplus of money flow into the country… WEEK 3 - THINGS I LOVE/MISS IN BUENOS AIRES |
