Question

What is the currency in Mexico?

Answer

Mexico uses the Mexican Peso ($, MX$, Mex$). Cents are called Centavos (¢). Coins go from 5¢ to 10MX$. Banknotes for pesos go from 20MX$ to 1000MX$. Usually, $1 USD is between 17MX$ to 20MX$. While smaller places will generally only accept cash, some larger stores and restaurants accept debit/credit cards. When paying by card, they will generally ask if you would like to pay in dollars or in pesos, at which point it is almost always better to pay in the local currency, as your bank will give a better exchange rate than most vendors
