<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2350970, member: 15199&quot;]The local ( 20 miles) Mexican banks are not interested in supplying newer metal based money for export, as they realize the cost of replacement will continue to increase, but not so much for currency ( paper), which to a certain amount can easily be purchased and carried across to the US. If you were a business account in mexico, and needed such for change you probably could do it, but the banks look at it as US banks look at people who search rolls and then return them~ a non profit public service costing them money. In this area, the private exchange stores on US side,process large of amount of low value coins for US Banknotes, and variable amounts of mexican coins can be purchased there by a US customer, but the margin isn&#039;t enough to allow someone to look through the coins. A local coin/bullion store does well by exchanging ASE&nbsp; for bags of coins at a rate much in his favor. Yard sales, swap meets, &#039;mom and pop&#039; stores, all very near to the border are more agreeable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the depressed peso may lead to a default and new exchange rate so all old denominations would be recalled for salvage by the bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
