Mexico: Money

One of the hassles of traveling to another country can be learning the different currency and exchange rates.

Currently the exchange rate of US Dollars(USD) to Mexican Pesos (MXN) is:
1 US Dollar =12.98278 Mexican Pesos
1 Mexican Peso (MXN) = 0.07703 US Dollar (USD)

This means:
For 1 US Dollar you get 12.98278 Mexican Pesos
and 1 Mexican Peso is equal to about 8 cents (0.07703 USD)

Dont worry if you buy a meal or something small and the price is 100 pesos (MXN) because thats only about $7.70!
Exchange rates can change on a daily basis, so be sure to check back again closer to your time of departure (that is, of course, if you have decided it is worth the risk to travel to Mexico).

Credit cards and traveler’s checks are accepted in almost all businesses in the city of Monterrey and conurbated area, but not so in regions outside this area.
