ATM's etc! Caution!!
Make sure that when you ask an ATM or banking question on this forum, that you understand the time frame in which your answers are framed. It seems
quite a few of the answers are "it worked last year. month when we were there" The question is "does it work now?" I truly don't think that question
can be answered. Things change fast. Safe travels!

Old info?
I did a lot of Mex travel back in the day, as in the only form
of exchange was the Travelers Check, that may sound to some
like trying to explain a cassette tape, had to stand in line,
get 2 signatures, talk to the manager, etc.

Some of the rancho guys that come to town for dental work at the Clinica have offered up chickens and such as payment on occasion.
Seems to work, haven't tried it in Kansas though. But I'm sure my old drinking buddy Chuckie would know the answer to that!

Never better!
ATMs are like the rancho roads around here: some still there, some not!

The ATM rate is somewhere in the +1 peso rate above the Casa
Camino rate? Verdad? Like 5%? I once talked to AAA here in
San Clemente, got a deer in the headlights response, called
the, I believe Chula Vista office for an answer, figuring they
would be a bit more tuned into Mex

Maybe those people you’re referring to would benefit from bringing a bunch of pesos with them. Maybe not.
