<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2099323, member: 19250&quot;]One&nbsp; should be very careful&nbsp;&nbsp; bouncing&nbsp; around Bogota ! Not a town if you don&#039;t&nbsp; know the turf to be looking to buy coins in straw markets or shops.</p><p>You will stand out like a sore thumb. And be an easy target&nbsp; I suggest&nbsp; banks&nbsp; to search rolls of local coinage. Some countries&nbsp; like Mexico do have kiosks&nbsp; that sell silver coins.</p><p>So if&nbsp; this is your first visit in the southern&nbsp;&nbsp; Hemisphere&nbsp; I would be very careful .</p><p>Chris is also correct about the Sac dollars down in South America . For two reasons #1 the image on the coin has the appearance&nbsp; of the locals and back by the US, #2 paper money rots in the tropics very quickly .</p><p>Another place to be careful&nbsp;&nbsp; is Rio one can go from a safe harbor to a very bad ghetto&nbsp; in a blink of an eye.</p><p>And what ever you do stay away from any Federal&nbsp; troops police. You will know them as they have the automatic&nbsp; weapons ! Just a word to the wise.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
