Mexico Currency

Print this Guide Print this Guide  | Email this Guide Email this Guide

Money: Mexican currency is the New Peso (MXN) divided into 100 centavos. Credit cards are widely accepted, particularly Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Travellers cheques are generally accepted, but cannot be cashed on Sundays. ATMs are available in most cities and towns and are the most convenient way to get money, but for safety reasons they should only be used during business hours. Although most businesses will accept foreign currency it is best to use pesos. Foreign currency can be exchanged at one of many casas de cambio (exchange houses), which have longer hours and offer a quicker service than the banks.


Currency Exchange Rates

MXN 1.00 = US$ 0.09 £ 0.05 C$ 0.09 A$ 0.10 R 0.73 € 0.06 NZ$ 0.12

Note: These currency exchange rates are not updated daily and should be used as a guideline only.
