Changing Your Money!
by lmkluque
Today there are fewer Casas de Cambio than there were years ago, but still all along San Ysidro Boulevard you will see them with their gaudy signs advertising the rates each place offers. As a cultural point it is interesting to see what other services they offer and they all do offer some other product or service.
This sign for RP International shows a better selling (Venta) than the place I've put under Tourist Traps, but the buying (Compra) rate is not as good. However, you can register your car here and get personalized license plates too.
So shop around before making the deal. Remember, you won't need to change your money if it is in US dollars.
