1 USD = about 10.9 MXN

Kinda makes it clear how MXNs can work cheap, huh?



I think the ones I have are "old" pesos, and not exchangeable at those
rates. I vaguely remember about 30 pesos to the dollar. Last time I
looked at them, I seriously had a large pile of 1000 peso notes and at
least five pounds of 100 peso coins.
Maybe it is time to take my wife to Mexico again.
