Anyone Been To Colonia Lately?

[nlaruccia]

I'll gladly give you a $100 peso notes for your $20 dollar bills!

I'll ask my friend who needs to go to Colonia if he can change his dollars to pesos with you.

Good to know. $20 dollar bills are practically worthless in BA.

I've never had problems with twenties at my regular Microcentro cueva. They're problematical in Patagonia, though.

The best option is if you can get an introduction to a cave here that will give you dollars in the hand here - they do exist but obviously you need the right connection to get that intro...

The 10K seems to be some sort of international agreement (tacit?). Its interpretation may vary (US: 10K per family / here: 10K per person).

I guess you meant "bring back from Colonia"?

no I meant take to Colonia,to transfer to a European country,ie.remove from argieland.

What is the maximum dollar amount are you personally allowed to get from an ATM machine, PER DAY, in Colonia? I have a $500/day limit in the U.S. but Argentina wags the 'bank' finger and says: "no, no, no!" and only gives me $300/day(in pesos), What is your experience in dollars, per day, from an ATM in Colonia? (I use Xoom inside Argentina, by the way now)

Call your bank in the USA and ask to raise the limit to $2000 for a week.

Another solution is to ask for a Payoneer MasterCard (debit card) online and fund this account with your card or from your US account. The daily withdrawal limit is 2.500 USD.

I use it since +2 years and I'm happy as a lark.
