Read the topic \"Help for penny pincher -- current rates\". It pretty much covers it all, exchange rates as well as taxi rates. Interesting opinions on getting the most bang for your loonies/bucks.
Canadian Money

Yes banks take Canadian dollars as do the money exchanges. The rate fluccuates daily and sometimes more than once a day but you will have no trouble exchanging at banks or cambios.
canadian $
Agree... Use your ATM for the best rate... But I also take travellers cheques \"just in case\" ... I always take Canadian Funds and have never had an issue... there is no use converting your money to US only to have to then convert it to peso. I agree with all of Joyces points.
x2 to what travelbug said :)
Like someone said earlier, Canadian is accepted at the banks, but is easy at the money exchanges that seem to be on every corner. Rates change daily as was mentioned.
I have traveled there with all 3 currencies and find that taking Pesos is just the easiest and cheapest. Ive found that you can get Pesos at almost any bank, at least here you can and imagine most major city banks will have it. This year $3000 pesos was only around $250 Canadian.
I understand why using an ATM is a good option, and I have used it many times, but I do understand about some having concerns. Each to his own.
I have even been stuck for Pesos outside of PV in some remote locations and they accepted my Canadian money rather than loose the business.
Canadian money is good for the most part.
Just my 2 cents

Hey there folks,
Just something to concider when using canadian or u.s. bills in stores and restaurants. They have a hard time cashing in any torn bills at the banks. I just resently returned and before I did I went and saw some of my favorite places and exchanged their torn canadian and u.s. bills for pesos.
