$

When we took our Lipscomb trips to Cozumel, Mark Jent would always tell us the the exchange rate was better than ten pesos to the dollar, but that it was just easier to think of it as ten to one in the moment.
When I got to Culiacán, the rate had been 9.6ish throughout July.  When I paid in dollars in places, they gave me a 9:1 rate.  The bank gave me a 10:1 rate when I first changed money at the end of August.  Now, in some banks, it's at 11.something.  I find that amazing as our economy continues to decline.  I'll be changing all my money tomorrow at the ScotiaBank down the street, who has the best rate around.
