Money: The Argentinean Peso (ARS) is divided into 100 centavos. The
recent devaluation of the Peso has made Argentina more affordable
for travellers but there is still much economic uncertainty and
travellers are advised to keep an eye on the exchange rate.
Currency can be exchanged at banks and cambios (bureaux de
change) but it is easier to use ATMs, available in most urban
towns, which reflect the current exchange rate. Credit and debit
cards are generally accepted, and US Dollars and Euros are normally
taken everywhere, but some international cards place limits on
transactions. Cirrus cards sometimes aren't accepted. There can be
problems using travellers cheques in rural areas, although most
banks in major cities should accept them. It's best to take
travellers cheques in US Dollars to avoid additional exchange rate
charges. Currency Exchange Rates
