    I remember 34/35 range in 2010. As long as you stay away from the 3000+ crowd on PC, life can be good.

    That was the only time I took cash with me on a trip. Changed it all on the day that it hit 54.

    The guy next to Rockys gave 43.85 the other day. Not the best, but not bad.

    Brother just returned from a trip to SDQ, bought me some things I needed, when I paid him back he told me the dollar was at $44.25 in most places, and an even $44.00 pesos at place who rather just round it out. It seems every trip I go back, the rate increases which is always a good thing.

    Thumbs Up Re: 09/2014 - Money exchange rates

    44.7 for USD at Western Union today and normally 44.5 on the street and at the colmado by Mary Rose
    When you can think of yesterday without regret and tomorrow without fear, you are near contentment.
    Your opinions are not my problem...

    Thank YOU!! I was wondering when this was going to come up in a thread.

    Colombian peso, dominican peso, philippines peso, Brazil Real and even Thailand Baht.

    So many good strong rates right now. It is definitely a good time to be mongering now, regardless of the destination you choose.

    Hey Dave, we were able to get 47 on our first trip in 2010. Hopefully things are returning to normal.

    Its not the 45 or 47 that makes it good so much as getting a chica for 1,500 or 2,000 rather than 3,000 or more.
