    If I were to go to England, ,, what currency would the bell hop like his tip in ?



    Peso is best , not need to convert twice


    Coming from the US, they will gladly accept USD

    USD, and Pesos.
    Always tip in pesos as they can't pay their bill/rent in USD.

    Usd for excursion, pesos for tips =)

    10 = 1 $
    20 = 2 $
    30 = 3 $
    100 = 10 $
    etc. :)
