All the tellers wanted my passport and they didnt even recognize the US crossing card I was issued in El Paso..!!

A commonly asked question is: should I convert now, or will my money be worth more when I go abroad? Unless your trip is months away, the answer is that it probably will not make much of a difference. The major currencies tend to move +/- 1% in a given day, which is a relatively minor move unless you are changing thousands at a time. Experts agree that travelers will be best off looking for a place that will change money inexpensively. Below are some of your options.

As you travel further into the interior, you'll have to exchange your dollars for pesos. I'd say at the border states (especially Baja Norte, Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas), you could use dollars in many transactions, but the further south, forget.

Just take your ATM card and take out the daily limit. The transaction will run you a couple of dollars, but the exchange rate is pretty competitive. I don’t think using a broker is the best way.
