Thanks for your insights. You’re quite right–some exchange houses in Mexico are picky about the condition of the bills they will handle, partly because under Mexican law, bills which have any markings on them are technically void. We’ll publish a blog article about this soon. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice!

One of the issues that we ran into there with regards to exchanging US Dollars was the banks will not take dollars that are marked on, crinkled or torn. They must be crisp clean bills. Fortunately, there are enough places that will exchange dollars regardless of condition, but you don’t get the decent exchange rate. So, if you are taking dollars to support yourself, take a very close look at them when you get them at the US bank and exchange those that have been marked on, torn, crinkled or just heavily worn for clean bills. You will save mucho headaches! Banks we tried: HSBC, BanaMex and two others (sorry, can’t remember their names!)
