Question

Going to mexico end of may should i take american dollar ? as opposed to mexican dollar .?

Answer 1

Most stores in tourist towns will take both.  I liked to use pesos when I was in Mexico, and I liked using pesos and speaking Spanish.  I tried to fit in to get better deals on things that I bought.  Just don't exchange your money in the airport... you will get ripped off.

Answer 2

US dollars are always welcome. The peso is MN, moneda nacional, US dollar is USD. Pesos always available at banks and ATMs.

Answer 3

Take your bank debit card and use the ATM.  

They churn out Pesos ($US = 10.80 pesos).  Your bank gives you the best exchange rate.

take some $US to use until you can get to a bank machine.

Answer 4

I went in Feb with my dad and i took both, although i generally found that i used Mexican Dollars more than my American money. I wen to Cancun. Have a good holiday :]

Answer 5

yepp you can bring american money && where ver you go they mite have a place to trade american money for pasos

&& sometimes they well say what the total is in american money

Answer 6

Ummm.... There's no such thing as a "Mexican Dollar".... No further comments.

Answer 7

You'll get a better rate of return if you use your ATM card and get pesos when you get there.  If you're going to a tourist area like Cancun, they'll take dollars but you'll get a terrible exchange rate (more profit for them).

So if you want about 100 US dollars at the ATM, you ask for 1000 pesos.

Answer 8

american dollars

Answer 9

take USD (get the good exchange rate) then if you want, change dollar into peso locally.

Answer 10

by using your ATM card you'll get a better  exchange rate than if you tried to buy pesos in the US

if you use a CC  you will be charged the rate  when it hit the bank  not the rate the store is trying to get

so the best answer is plastic  

EXCEPTION  gas  most pemex stations only accept cash, peso is best  but dollars in a pinch, priced apx 71 peso liter

DEPARTURE try  to use most of your pesos  you wont get favorable exchange in US unless you live in a border state

Answer 11

American dollar is worth more than the peso

Answer 12

There is no such thing as Mexican Dollars!

our currency is the peso

bring whatever you want , it's the same and you can exchange dollars anywhere, is not like you are going to the jungle.

YOU CAN ALSO BRING BRITISH DOLLARS!!! he he!

sorry, pounds.

Answer 13

i went to mexico and i used both but just remember that you will be getting peso's back

Answer 14

Both are accepted everwhere without problems. But exchange rates are different depending on where you go. And if I can make a suggestion, stay at an all inclusive like Barcelotucancun it is well worth it. Believe me you will not know you are in Mexico because of all the americans.
