Mood: I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

Peso to the $


Please, no political rants.

At the ATM in Lays market in Loreto yesterday, I netted 20.53 to the dollar after all fees. A very pleasant surprise as I thought I would get around 19.75.

My definition of a rant is endless communication of information that has nothing to do with the original subject matter.

The cambios in TJ are not giving anything near to that rate. Commercial Mexicana and Wallmart are. So the best thing to do is buy our groceries in US dollars and get change in pesos. Make sure to use Pesos at all other places as exchange rates vary widely, for example Starbucks was only giving 18 to 1.

Competitive Cambios work at a 2% margin. It's a business.

A Casa de Cambio out of Ensenada lists 18.70 to the dll. A predominately
mainland site, fairly recent legit posts, not as in yrs. ago, was dicussing the exchange of dlls at Mex Banks. I was under the
impression that went away 6-8 yrs. ago, something
about showing one's passport which is recorded, and the
limit of some amount per month. Was this wishful thinking
or did I read something wrong
Today Thurs. 18.65

I think the dollar is quite strong right now so it's good if you have dollars because you can buy more pesos.

Dollar is very strong against the Pound, Euro, and Yen right now. Good time to do some international trips.

USD has been climbing steadily against almost every broadly traded currency for quite a while now. Peso has been doing better than most, including the CAD, EUR GBP and JPY for about 1 year. Tourists are beginning to prefer European destinations to Baja for pricing reasons as well as higher levels of safety. Portugal seems to be the preferred destination.

Does the loonie still exist? Didn’t Canada convert to the US dollar?

Yes MTGoat, Canada and it's currency still exist. You should try visiting sometime, you might actually find something out side of your home area you like. We are a pretty hospitable country.

Mexico has a long history of “The Christmas Surprise” in simple terms a large devaluation of the Peso around the end of the year. This could be what we see being discussed now.
