    Have you seen any drop in prices even at restaurants with the prices in ink?

    Finance Yahoo is stating a BID price of 38.50 (up 2 points from yesterday), note the ASK is still 45.

    YAHOO Finance is pretty much useless.
    This site is dynamic and usually on the money!
    If there are NO dollars for sale , they do not show an offering.

    NO WAY!
    The rate changes every day.
    Just bring exact change $15 USD for a cab and change at Judy's on Calle Ayuntimiento, make a right past SUPER SUPER liquor store when you arrive. have a great trip.

    Wouldnt you have to pay a Wire fee... even if you dont its not worth the hassle to save 1 peso on a dollar but im sure there is a wire fee... enviosboya.com is like 5 bucks on every 100 sent..

    KISS

    KISS = "Keep it simple Stupid."

    It will be above 40 by next week!
    Why bother wiring money.
    Just another thing that can go wrong.

    Also who really cares?
    It really only matters if you are swapping 5- 10 GRAND $USD.
    For a ten day trip Just swap a hundred or two if it is higher.
    Worry about how many asses you tap in a day not whether you got 38 or 40 PESOS/USD! Remember it's vacation!

    True Yahoo doesn't reflect street conditions in the DR but it does tell the real world market rate which you can use to see trends.

    Actually stop in at Super Super first, they sometimes offer the highest rate based on need, all that American liquor in there is not bought with pesos.

    SUPER SUPER

    The Algerian owner likes greenbacks!
    He does give a great rate.
    Kinda scary that Banco Progeso pays him rent.

    exchange rate

    it's now at 35 to $1 us. I'd never thought it would drop this fast with the new President. Doesn't anyone know if general prices are dropping too?
