Re:peso exchange rate???
Depends on where you trade. Banks are the best, hotels are the worst. Most money changers are 1-8% over the current exchange rate. Years ago I even saw some speculation and got lower than the exchange rate. You should be able to get rate + 1-2% on the street. Exchange rate 1-6-03 is 10.14 pesos to the US$$. You will get around 10.05 at the bank and 9.9 on the street. This will change daily.
