Us or mexican money????

coming over in May from England and was just wondering if it’s best to change cash up in to Mexican Money or US dollars? Thank you

 

I would say go with Pesos for a few reasons.. you only have to exchange once and it's easier for the Mexican people, they have to convert US cash

 

Completely agree with what @Deb42dd said above. We are in the same situation in canada in terms of choosing what to convert too. W learned quickly the benefits of pesos for us and the workers. Plus, the peso bills are waterproof so u can carry them with u in the pool and they are easy to handle as they dry/separate easily when u go to use them. We find 20 peso Bill's perfect for tipping (about $1 us).....not that bartenders would every complain about soggy american money in their tip jar.

Only thing we are getting american for this next trip is for USA Transfers

 

We bring both and use whichever is required for what we are paying.

 

We take mostly pesos but have a bit of american too

(.Y.)

 

We take pesos (from England) if we can, but struggled to get small denomination notes this time, so took US $, still gratefully received!

I’m under the impression that USA Transfers will take Canadian cash or pesos if you set it up with them ahead of time.

 

My two cents.... the peso can move 10% up or down or more to the dollar in a week (even a day)!..... dollars seem to be preferred but all/any gratuity is more appreciated than most of us will ever know!!
