    That pesos to dollars conversion trick, about moving the decimal point, was easily the single best tip I've ever been given on the subject. In less than a minute, , you turned a problem that I've been having FOREVER into something with an easy solution. A really teriffic nugget of information.

    Just one suggestion, the 1000 pesos bill is real and legal, but in most of small shops, grocery stores etc. they dont accept it, so in fact the most high denomination is 500 pesos bill. But in stores like Wal Mart, Chedraui etc. they accept any form of payment.

  • @ScienceNotFaith
    @ScienceNotFaith 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If you don't need a lot of cash and only want to convert USD to Pesos, any Oxxo or Walmart will do it at almost a 1:1 exchange rate. That's better than any bank, atm or kiosk. Never use a kiosk in a mall, the airport or port of entry, you'll get ripped off. Exchange booths inside some large resorts can have good exchange rates too. If you're on vacation, pay for everything with a foreign transaction fee free card and only pay for small incidentals with cash.
    Note that not all ATM cards work in Mexico ATMs. I had one kept by the machine and the parent bank basically said they can't help me. Had to rely on friend for $ for the whole trip.

      RL Davis thanks for watching! A $20 pesos bill and coin are worth the same, but you’ll see the bill much more often. It doesn’t matter which one you use. You’ll almost always be given a $20 pesos bill as change rather than the coin.

    • @SpanishandGo
      @SpanishandGo  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's cool, Alejandro! You have a piece of Mexican history then. In 1993 the Bank of Mexico introduced a new currency, the nuevo peso ("new peso", or MXN). One new peso, or N$1.00, was equal to 1000 of the obsolete MXP pesos. The value of the currency still fluctuates, just like the value of all fiat currencies, but the old version of the pesos isn't used anymore. The 1000 pesos bill is worth over $50 USD right now! Thanks for sharing that. And thanks for watching!

      ElsaGaming Im late as *HECK* but many places around the world uses the Peso, Colombia is one of them, but their denomination differs,
      In Mexico, one dollar is 20 pesos, and in Colombia 3.860.

      The Old Mexican Peso (MXP) is obsolete.
      One MXN is equivalent to 1000 MXP. The Mexican Peso was revalued on January 1, 1993. 1 MXN is currently worth about $0.05 USD.

    • @SpanishandGo
      @SpanishandGo  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      _Peso_ is just the name of a currency. _Dollar_ used to mean a certain amount of silver, but now it just is the name for a currency since it's not backed by gold or silver any longer. So the Mexican peso is just the money used in Mexico. It doesn't translate since it's a name. I hope that helps! -Jim

      That would be an old note that is no longer valid for general use. You might be able to sell it to a collector though. 2000 pesos when they changed over to the “new peso” was worth about 10 “new pesos” - or approximately 50¢ USD. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching! -Jim
