I need to buy some ARS notes for food, a retail FX place where I go to in London quoted selling ARS 63 = £1 today, but they won't buy ARS.
Most professionals quote in USD .
Yes , the ARS has moved since you struck the deal . But prices have moved as well . If you did the deal in USD it's not very sporting to renege on that now.
63 for the GBP is not a great rate - a friend tells me that 68/69 is the rate in town for small transactions . When are you travelling ?
You can change GBP at Ezeiza when you arrive in the Banco Nación - official rates
