What is the deal on money and paying for things while traveling?
The Argentine money is the peso, which is also noted with a “$” and fluctuates around 3.6 to the dollar. Personal purchases can be made with cash pesos, dollars or credit cards. Currency exchange houses and banks will exchange your dollars. Some merchants offer discounts for cash. Personal or travelers checks should not be used.. Also ATMs are sometimes out of cash, so we recommend carrying a back up stash of $300.
