Going to Coz in mid-April. I am trying to decide how much local currency (pesos) to bring along and how much to get from the ATM there. I am looking for the best deal, based on this specific information:
Went to my bank today to inquire about buying some pesos. Today the cost was $7.73 per 100 pesos, or roughly 12.936p per USD. Yahoo Finance is showing $7.05, or 14.1785. So you see that the bank is doing pretty well for themselves if these are selling.
Obviously the rate will change before I go, but I am wondering what the ATMs or exchanges in Coz are giving today, as to how they compare to my banks, and the Yahoo page. Maybe a false assumption, but I am hoping that the relativity holds. BTW this assumes no other commission cost.
I expect that in Coz the rate is somewhere between the two I show above, but if anyone is there now and can confirm, that would be very much appreciated.
