Where to exchange currency in mexico
Wera Minute #7 Money in Mexico To exchange or not exchange and much more!
all right hey guys it's Trisha from my
Trish advisor and today I want to talk
to you guys about money I get a lot of
questions about money exchanging money
where to exchange it if we should
exchange it and some of these questions
quite honestly a little bit bother me
first off in the state's not some rude
but a lot of people if a Mexican comes
to the United States they expect them to
speak English and spend in dollars but
then people from the states come to
Mexico in my opinion expects Mexicans to
speak English and take their dollars so
the reason I'm kind of going over this
is I feel like a lot of people are
unsure about money I'm sure about the
exchange they're not sure where to go
and they honestly don't really feel
comfortable having a different type of
money in their hands so first off where
to exchange first off should you
exchange yes absolutely
you're in a different country spend
their money look at their money I'm
gonna show you here in a second but look
how pretty it is take the dollar out of
there
so it's colorful it's different sizes
and it has a lot of history on it where
to exchange and on me like I said feel
it it feels different it's different
colors I mean it's nice when you look in
your bag you can see if it's green it's
200 if it's pink well two types of pink
but you don't really see the thousand
peso if it's pink it's probably the 50
peso in my case so anywhere to exchange
so I I exchange usually Casa de cambio
which is the house of change you can do
it before you come or in the airport but
they usually charge you in the casa de
cambio about a peso to two pesos per
dollar so for example today I think the
exchange is right around nineteen point
five or twenty in the Casa de cambio
you'll get it for about eighteen or
seventeen well probably eighteen point
right now so that means 18 pesos to the
dollar for easy explanation one dollar
equals about 20 pesos so 20 pesos to 200
that would about be ten dollars more or
less but just to kind of give you that
idea so that's the first couple of
things now I want to talk to you little
specifically more about the money so
I'll show you here all right so here is
most of the money laid out so there's a
lot of history on this these bills I'm
just gonna kind of give you some basic
information okay so first off on the 20
his name is Benito Juarez see him right
there and on the back okay
the 50 Jose Maria Morelos and what I
love is look at that you can see right
through this is actually my favorite
bill because of the butterfly okay guys
I'm gonna mutilate this name okay
that is well cotton cotton cotton and
each one has a quote - okay thank you so
pretty
okay so eNOS de la Cruz again kin en
tous 500 everybody knows this woman
Frida Kahlo and her lover Diego Rivera
again another course which is actually
one of my favorites and last Miguel
Hidalgo now this is the male pesos the
thousand pesos this is about $50 more or
less and this is very rare to find in
fact I had to put a post up to find one
I used to collect these but then I ran
out of money so I needed to spend them
alright so that's kind of the overview
of the bills and then we have some of
the coins here so this is the ten peso
so it's gold on the outside and silver
in the middle you can see the nice
emblem sorry I have the greatest camera
then five pesos so this is about a
quarter okay two pesos listen to the
birds aren't they pretty
there's one that says Richard I can't
I'm gonna record it one day and this one
is what is this one a one peso and
there's cincuenta centavos which is 50
cents 50 cents of it and there's even he
said the PS and that was which is 10
cents it's even a little bit smaller
now I just wanted to show you the size
so yeah so you can see 20 to 50 to 200
to go down 500 and then the dollar is
almost I think exactly the same size as
a thousand pay so that's a little bit of
an overview about the Mexican money in
the exchange so really my my biggest
advice to you is exchange the money see
it feel it get used to it
train yourself when you're on vacation
to spend the money no matter where
you're at each each place has a lot of
history on their bills so I didn't go
through all the history I think this
video is already gonna be five minutes
long so see you guys soon and hey follow
along I've been working on some new
things I'm gonna do some new videos
coming up and I've taking some
professional pictures and I'm really
excited to share with you guys so stay
tuned and we'll see you soon okay that's
a wait a minute
like five minutes I guess hmm hi guys
