It's probably obvious to most but for some uninitiated you may want to clarify that "A US $20 bill will get you 14 or 14.5 per dollar"

Exclamation

Please note that a post above by Richardinmotion is completely inaccurate... the buy rate for Dollars has not been anywhere near 16 for various days now. Im not quoting the post because it does more harm than good.

Suggest folks check proper sources before quoting rates that may lead to false expectations.

My numbers are accurate, and even conservative. I was on Florida Street the day before yesterday and spoke with several changers.

Additional data point: I instant messaged with a trusted friend in B.A. this morning and her trusted cueva quoted this morning in the mid 15s.

As Alex will note, always subject to change.

What some folks are also forgetting is that the rate you will receive will depend on the amount of the transaction (assuming also that you have USD100 bills in very good condition).
