Question

I am traveling to Mexico soon, where can I purchase Mexican money at before I get to Mexico? Thanks?

Answer 1

Go to a bank! A bank might sure have foreign currency.

Dont worry, while in Mexico you have the same opportunity.

If you dont find pesos at your bank, the safest way is to exchange while in Mexico.

Have fun in Mexico!

Answer 2

Take U.S. dollars with you and get them changed into Peso's when you need them the Mexicans will take dollars no problem.Just be careful in Mexico City not to carry to much cash around with you just use common sense and you will be fine and have a great trip.

Answer 3

Some U.S. banks have currency exchange

Answer 4

Take only enough American money to get you out of trouble, in an emergency.

From there, take out any money you need from a Mexican ATM.  It will give you cash, (pesos) and will also give you the best exchange rate, short of literally walking into a bank.

If you're flying in to Mexico, you can exchange money at the airport and these places are well marked.  Finding places to exchange money isn't difficult, but can be expensive.  If you stick with ATM's, you should be OK.

Answer 5

If you have a debit or credit card, use your card it would be easier.

Answer 6

In banks here. In Mexico in the air port, hotels also exchange, but most Mexicans take dollars. But try to exchange were the dollars is worth more sometimes its 10 pesos for a dollar or 9 pesos for a dollar.

Answer 7

I disagree that most mexican take american dollars, as other posters have said. Perhaps in a touristy area, you can get by with American dollars, to some degree. However, I usually go to non-touristy area, and I have never seen anyone use American money. Since you didn't specify if you are going to a touristy or non-touristy area, I would suggest exchanging at the airport. You can also exchange at most banks in Mexico and I hear that some hotels in touristy destinations exchange money.

Answer 8

get pesos when you get to the airport in mexico...they'll have a booth to exchange your money.....

Answer 9

If you are going close to the frontier, you don't need to change dollars to pesos, because they use dollars too !!

Have a nice trip !!

and visit Tijuana !!

i'm from there 8-D

Answer 10

you don't need to purchase in advance.... plenty of atm's there w/ better exchange rates.....
