Exchange
The local currency is the Peso ($) The exchange rate fluctuates between $300
to $ 310 per U$S 100 -on March 2003-, due to the current economic situation.
If you need to exchange foreign currency go to an authorized exchange agency
or a bank. Hotels and stores accept US Dollars, and in general are willing
to exchange for Pesos. In several provinces they have Provincial Bonus in
circulation (Patacones, Lecop, etc). They are no good for exchanging into
foreign currency. Avoid accepting it or having more than U$S 10 in that currency.
