Question On Changing Dollars/cash

[polostar88]

Apologies if this has already been answered. But I was in Argentina last year and you had to exchange in "half-legal" places which would only accept $100 bills in general. I was wondering if this is still the case or if I can bring $20 bills and if these will be accepted for exchange for pesos.
Thanks!

Everything will be accepted against the same normal rate. (Before the lower bills -20,10,5 & 1- would also be accepted, but at about 5% less).

Any confirmation on this--you can exchange $20 bills now just as easily as $100 bills and at the same rate?

At the bank yes. Not always in a cueva. Some cue as still only want 50 and 100 usd bills
